Dynamic is very proud to present this outstanding World Premiere Recording of a lesser known Vivaldi opera.
Motezuma is no typical baroque love opera but rather an historical work which depicts the destruction of a people and a culture by use of force and violence.
The contrast and the striking differences between the Aztecs and the Spanish are revealed in every detail, even in the body movements in the fighting scenes. A victim of the Spanish, Motezuma turns out to be a violent and aggressive leader himself.
The stage set makes use of deep symbolical language: the main element on stage is the cross-shaped and blood-stained platform. The use of colours and lighting is also intended to enhance the characters' complex personalities.
Conductor Alan Curtis needs no introduction, as he and his Complesso Barocco are among the most acclaimed international baroque ensembles.
Director Stefano Vizioli has got a degree in piano from the Conservatorio of Naples and has collaborated with famous contemporary artists and architects.
