Harmonia Mundi recently issued the opera "Contadina" by Johann Adolph Hasse, a baroque composer whose discography is becoming fairly extensive. I have a few Hasse cds and find most of his music well-constructed with memorable melodic content such as his opera Cleofide; but, I have heard Hasse works which are not highly inspired. For those who are familiar with Contadina, is the music worthy of purchase and continued listening? As an aside, I ordered a cd of instrumental/orchestral music by another baroque composer (Fux) on Arcana. Does anyone have this cd? How does Fux compare to Hasse? Don Satz [log in to unmask]
