Conti was a Florentine who worked for much of his career in the Imperial Court in Vienna, generating much attention there - the ever-observant JS Bach and Zelenka were both known to have been attracted by his music. Curiously, it was liturgical works like this 1715 Missa Sancti Pauli which kept Conti's name known until near to the end of the nineteenth century rather than the operas, oratorios and cantatas with which he delighted the Viennese Court and which have hitherto been receiving the attention of artists and record labels today. If Conti's church music is less fledgling Classical than his dramatic fare, there is much in the way of melodic tunefulness and concertato style - for both voices and instruments - to combine with fugal-imitative writing reminiscent of the stile antico. The work is a Credo Mass, with it's rondo-like restatement of the word in the Credo section. The tone, control, presence and unity of the Purcell Choir have been amply demonstrated already on Glossa in music of the French Baroque - Rameau and Mondonville in particular - and the singers are given full opportunity to shine in Conti's mass - as are the orchestra, comprised mainly of strings, and the vocal soloists, who include Adriána Kalafszky, Péter Bárány, Zoltán Megyesi and Thomas Dolié. Bárány and Megyesi are also soloists in two additional works: the motet, Fastos caeli audite and the aria Pie Jesu, ad te refugio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 1, Kyrie Eleison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 2, Christe Eleison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 3, Kyrie Eleison II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 4, Gloria In Excelsis Deo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 5, Et In Terra Pax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 6, Laudamus Te\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 7, Propter Magnam Gloriam Tuam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 8, Domine Deus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 9, Qui Tollis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 10, Qui Tollis II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 11, Qui Sedes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 12, Quoniam Tu Solus Sanctus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissa Sancti Pauli: No. 13, Sonata.
