Contemporaries of Alessandro Scarlatti and now largely forgotten, Camilla de Rossi and Maria Margherita Grimaldi left behind remarkable contributions to the oratorio genre, at a time when few women composed - and even fewer within official circles. Soprano Suzanne Jerosme, Jörg Halubek and Il Gusto Barocco bring several of their works back to life, preserved since the early 1700s in the holdings of the Austrian National Library. Alongside arias by Alessandro Scarlatti, who helped shape the oratorio form in both Rome and Vienna, these strikingly beautiful compositions emerge - fully deserving a place among the masterpieces of their time.
