Summary
"Cesti's opera was one of the most celebrated court spectacles of the entire seventeenth century. These newly discovered excerpts allow us, for the first time, to have the music for acts three and five, thus supplementing Guido Adler's edition of the Prologue and acts one, two, and four in Denkml̃er der Tonkunst in Österreich." -- Provided by publisher.
