Caldara, Venice and the oratorio...Imported to Venice almost seventy years after its birth, from 1690 the oratorio enjoyed a powerful revival in the City of the Doges - thanks to Caldara. His forty-odd contributions to the genre asserted themselves as key works at the turn of the 18th century, among which Magdalena at the Feet of Christ was to become a kind of standard-bearer. Within the framework of a fixed pattern (recitative / aria) the composer achieves an astounding dramatic intensity which calls to mind Pergolesi or the Vivaldi of the Stabat Mater.
