Characteristics of Frisina’s work can be found in the lush harmonisation of the choral movement ‘Psalm 45’, which is undoubtedly a highlight of the recording, and acclaimed Italian soprano Barbara Vignudelli sings the protagonist role, with David Scogna narrating. Organist Lorenzo Macrì, Coro Musicanova and the Nova Amadeus Chamber Orchestra are conducted by Flavio Emilio Scogna. New recording (17 March 2012 Cripta delle Ancelle della Carità, Rome) by Italian soloists, choir and chamber orchestra, conducted by Flavio Emilio Scogna. Italian composer Marco Frisina (b.1954) sets this tale in a moving and appealing musical language, in the great Italian choral tradition, reaching back as far as Palestrina.
