NEW CD ON CHANDOS

Cantatas and Chamber Music by Scarlatti

Tempesta di Mare Chamber Players
with
Clara Rottsolk, soprano

---

Chandos Records has just asked Tempesta di Mare to produce a new CD annually for worldwide commercial release under the Chandos/Chaconne label. This vote of confidence for our artistic excellence is fantastic news indeed!

The kick-off recording is scheduled for release in April 2010, so this month we’re heading to the studio to record four cantatas and a concerto by Alessandro Scarlatti from our 2007 and 2009 Ain’t Love Grand programs with Clara Rottsolk, soprano and the Tempesta di Mare Chamber Players: Emlyn Ngai and Karina Fox (violins), Eve Miller (cello), and the two of us on recorder and theorbo.

We are asking you to help support this wonderful opportunity for Tempesta. We have to raise $10,000 to cover production costs, and hope to get one step closer to reaching this goal with your help today. We have provided a convenient pledge form for you to contribute online, or you can mail a check to Tempesta di Mare, 1034 Carpenter St, Philadelphia 19147. Your contribution is completely tax-deductible.

Please see below for the special thank-you gifts for helping out.

Tempesta di Mare is the first and only American baroque ensemble to appear on Chandos, internationally recognized as one of the finest independent classical music labels. Our previous three releases on that label—the acclaimed 2004 world-premiere CD of the Weiss lute concerti, the June 2007 release of Handel German Arias with Julianne Baird, and the May 2008 live in-concert world premiere recording of Fasch Orchestral Music—have received highest marks and glowing reviews worldwide.

Thank you for your continued support.

Gwyn and Richard
