L’Arpeggiata’s program intersperses excerpts from Rossi’s two operas with a sampling of his exquisitely crafted vocal chamber music and short instrumental pieces by three other Italian composers active in the mid–17th century. Although somewhat overlooked today, Rossi was both lionized and imitated by his contemporaries. After his death in 1653, the Bolognese composer Giacomo Antonio Perti placed him alongside Antonio Cesti and Giacomo Carissimi as one of the “three greatest lights of our profession.”
