Cecilia Bartoli’s latest project turns to the early Baroque period for the first time in her recording career and uncovers a treasure of beautiful music in an album almost entirely composed of world-premiere recordings. Mission showcases the music of little-known Italian composer Agostino Steffani (1654–1728) and includes arias, duets, solo numbers with chorus and instrumental interludes.
