This
cantata, from an
important manuscript in
Berlin containing 18
Albinoni cantatas for
soprano and continuo, is
a rare example, for this
composer, of a
Sujetkantate - the term
coined by the music
historian Eugen Schmitz
for a cantata that
re-enacts an episode
taken from mythology or
history. Here, the
subject is Ariadne, who
awakes to find her lover,
Theseus, gone. Rushing to
the shore, she sees his
departing ship and curses
his faithlessness -
though not without
betraying her continuing
love for him. Albinoni
rises to the occasion in
music of power and
eloquence.
