Caldara - Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo - "Pompe inutili", M. C. Kiehr

[HumblePilgrim1]

I feel that my words, however praiseworthy, ultimately fail to deliver justice to this incredible piece. It is purely sublime, and entirely faithful to its noble subject matter. This is without a doubt my favourite work by Caldara, and its inspirational qualities can only be experienced by listening...my commentary fails to express its power more than one's own ears can understand. Grazie, grazie...

That oratorio is so emotional and full of deep feelings ...

The cruel combat between celestial and earthly love into Maddalena's soul is emotionally fully expressed through Maria Cristina's beautifull voice ..
