Antonio Caldara 's oratorio
Magdalene at the Feet of Christ tells the biblical story of the salvation of the wayward
Mary Magdalene in terms of her inner conflict, as the good and evil allegorical characters Celestial Love and Earthly Love battle for her soul. Jeremy Summerly talks to
Gramophone Award-winning countertenor Andreas Scholl about his role in Rene Jacobs 's new recording of the work, which has received unanimous critical acclaim.
