La Morte del Cor penitente is one of three surviving oratorios by Giovanni Legrenzi, composed around the Year 1671 when he was the leading opera composer in Venice. This remarkable oratorio tells the story of a tormented Sinner, who must choose between saving his life or saving his soul. Ultimately, allegories of Repentance and Hope gently persuade him that in order to truly live, he must embrace death.
