Who was Alessandro Stradella?

Why Alessandro Stradella?

 

The Sequel – To A Strange Somewhere Fled

 

 

I cannot resist echoing the words of Caroline Gianturco who wrote what is now considered to be most well-researched and accurate resource on Stradella: Alessandro Stradella, 1639-1682: His Life and Music (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1994):

“… I am glad to have had the opportunity of spending these many years uncovering the actual Stradella, a fascinating and lively man, who wrote excellent music of a personal stamp. Had circumstances given him the possiblity, he would surely have been surprised by my continued refusal to give up the often discouraging and elusive task; I like to think that he would have been pleased that I did not.”
