Diego Fasolis injects 'vitality' and 'melodrama' into Dorilla in Tempe by Vivaldi
After a modest pause The Vivaldi Edition has resumed activity with the composer’s heroic pastoral Dorilla in Tempe. Vivaldi produced it in Venice for the 1726-27 autumn carnival season, and revived it on three occasions over the following eight years. The work is a pasticcio with eight arias by other composers including Hasse who contributed three of them.
