The Enea Baroque Orchestra, founded by the mezzo-soprano Francesca Ascioti in 2018, is currently regarded as the best Roman Baroque authority because of the high quality of its musicians. On this album the ensemble turns to Johann Adolf Hasse’s masterpiece, the Neapolitan Baroque opera Enea in Caonia (Aeneas in Chaonia), a genuine gem within the genre of the serenata. The libretto was inspired by Book III of Vergil’s Aeneid, the most famous epic poem in Latin literature. It was very fortunate that Hasse and Aeneas “crossed paths” in Italy, for both of them a new adoptive home, and breathed new life into this work. It was from Italy, where Hasse composed this work at the young age of twenty-seven, that he went on to become one of the most popular and most sought-after opera composers of his times – not only in Italy but throughout Europe. We have obtained the services of the excellent Italian violin virtuoso and conductor Stefano Montanari as our principal conductor, and he will also lead this first complete recording of Enea in Caonia.

假声男高音不像一般歌唱家有一定相同的音域，他们彼此间的差异相当大。德国假声男高音修尔很幸运地，拥有和韩德尔当年爱将森奈席诺完全一样的音域，这让他在近年韩德尔歌剧运动正热的年代中炙手可热。但他之所以跃升为当今古乐界的卡罗素，则绝非仅止于此。修尔成名极早，1981年全球两万诗班聚集梵蒂岗教廷为教皇圣保碌二世献唱，修尔就被选为独唱。他当时十四岁，虽然已迈入青春期，却依然可以用纯净的假声唱出悦耳歌声，显示他拥有极高的假声演唱技巧。而他的歌声也很快就被假声男高音Rene Jacobs相中，破格允许刚高中毕业的修尔进入巴赛尔古乐学院攻读，在此他深受艾玛柯克比的影响，也奠定了对英国巴洛克曲目的精熟。他拥有非常优美的男中音，在演唱会中经常可以一口气由男中音往上唱到次女高音的上限，功力十分了得。出色的唱艺，让他成为有史以来第一位获得明星级地位的假声男高音，成就远远超越许多前辈，也提高了假声男高音的能见度。虽然年仅四十三岁（2010年），名声却与古乐蓬勃复兴时期紧紧相系，二十年来，几乎所有重量级古乐录音都以他挂帅，而其中的经典录音，也都有其名相佐，他不但亲眼见证了古乐复兴以来的最繁盛阶段，同时又是亲自参与写下这段历史的重要角色。2010年重回笛卡的首张重要作品，就是全本的普赛尔歌曲，虽然早在学生时代就经常演唱这些作品，这却是他生平第一次灌录普赛尔。专辑中他请到新生代法国假声男高音克里斯多菲杜莫与他合作一首二重唱，另外他还唱了一首著名的the Cold Song，当年曾为大卫鲍伊伴唱的歌手Klaus Nomi很爱唱这首歌，修尔非常仰慕他，因此特别灌录此曲献给于1983年以三十九岁之龄过世的这位歌手。
