This recording represents a testimony in sound of the concert for the feast of San Petronio held on 3rd October 2011, in coincidence with the celebrations for the 300th anniversary of the birth of Perti. For the occasion the performers were lined up along the horseshoe choir-stall that surrounds the presbytery of the basilica: the first chorus was on the left; the second set opposite nearly thirty metres away. This arrangement made it possible to recreate the performance and acoustic conditions, documented by copious iconography, which influenced both the composition and the performance of music in Bologna churches in the seventeenth century.

The CAPPELLA MUSICALE ARCIVESCOVILE DELLA BASILICA DI SAN PETRONIO, founded in 1436 at the request of Pope Eugene IV, was one of the most important music institutions in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; it produced important forms of instrumental music and boasted such outstanding musicians as Cazzati, Colonna, Perti, Vitali, Gabrielli, Torelli and Jacchini. The Cappella was formed anew in the 1980s, seeking to rediscover and enhance in a systematic manner the repertoire of the Bologna school, conserved in abundant quantities in the basilica's music archive. The rebirth came about in the light of recent studies of musical philology and of performance practice: under the direction of Sergio Vartolo, the Cappella Musicale di San Petronio formed the first orchestra with period instruments in Italy, boasting the collaboration of the most important musicians active in the field of so-called early music. The Cappella has given concerts all over Europe and has made recordings with Bongiovanni, Dynamic, Harmonia Mundi France, Naxos and Tactus. Michele Vannelli became maestro di cappella in 2006.
