Description: It was long thought that very few traces remained of the operatic repertoire performed in Leipzig during its opera house's short tenure (1693-1720) until the 100 anonymous short pieces in a Leipzig library were discovered to be instrumental arrangements of the most popular opera arias of the day. 24 of them have been painstakingly recreated for this new world premiere recording. German-English texts. Jan Kobow (tenor), United Continuo Ensemble.
