Biography
His birth dat is also given as 31 July or 2 August 1686.
Benedetto Marcello was a student of Lotti and Gasparini. In 1711 he was a member of the Venetian Council of Forty, from 1730–1738 governor of Pola (Istria), and in 1738 papal chamberlain at Brescia.
Marcello translated John Dryden’s “Timotheus“. He wrote a libretto for G. Ruggeri’s opera Arato in Sparta (1709) and “Il teatro alla moda“ (1720), a satirical account of contemporary operatic practice.

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
First, the good news: Pergolesi's Stabat Mater for soprano, mezzo-soprano, and orchestra is one of the baroque era's masterpieces, a profound treatment of the anguish felt by the Virgin Mary as she stood at the foot of the cross watching her son die. The possibilities of a striking video treatment, perhaps alternating views of the performers with Renaissance paintings, statues, possibly even film clips from a biblical movie or two, are enormous. The bad news is that this video recording is not the one Pergolesi deserves in musical interpretation, visuals, or packaging.
It is part of the Jubilaeum Collection commissioned by Pope John Paul II for the celebration of the Year 2000 Jubilee in Rome, and it is a classic example of the fact that good intentions operating without technical expertise are not enough. The packaging emphasizes the presence of soprano Katia Ricciarelli, who was once a great singer. Her name is displayed almost as prominently as the composer's, but she turns out to be the weakest part of the performance, with a voice that lacks power and is often not firmly supported or controlled. Mezzo-soprano Rossana Rinaldi gives a much better performance, but one searches the cover in vain for her name or that of conductor Vito Clemente. The recorded sound and camera work are mediocre. --Joe McLellan
Description:
A wonderful addition to the Jubilaeum Collection, this concert, filmed on location in Rome, Italy, features world renowned soprano Katia Ricciarelli and the Orchestra Benedetto Marcello on the Good Friday performance of Giovanni Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater." The fourth concert in the Jubilaeum Collection commissioned by Pope John Paul II and the Vatican in celebration of the Jubilee 2000.
Rating:
- Some of the other concerts in this series are excellent
I would not purchase this recording based on the reviews it has received but I have purchase other recordings in this series and they are excellent, of the highest caliber.
Rating: - Awful
After being disappointed with Rossini's Stabat Mater in the Jubilaeum 2000 series, I was hopeful that Pergolesi's would be better. Alas this is not so. The audio is perhaps the worst I have yet come across. The accoustics are terribly flat and dead, and sound as if the performance was recorded in a padded cell and not the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome. The audio selection is Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 but I noticed that each of the two sopranos had her own microphone and they looked as if ... Read More
