The CD is "Composition féminine with Chris Bilobram, gitarre"
VKJK 0422. In addition to Camilla Rossi and Taileferre it
includes pieces for guitar by Emilia Giuliani (daughter of
Mauro), Ida Presti, Marie Anido and Elisabeth Austin. I rec'd a
copy from ArkivMusic (a US subsidiary of Harmonia mundi).

Also associated with Francesco Conti in Vienna was Camilla de
Rossi. A few years ago I looked at some of her oratorios
(publ.
ClarNan Editions), and
they often feature prominent part (in pitch notation) for
obbligato theorbo, played doubtlessly by Conti, the
Kapellmeister. The sinfonia for one of
the oratorios is (in effect) a lute concerto. I heard it
played
on guitar on a CD that included the recently discovered
Tailleferre concerto for two guitars (an excellent work,
although
the guitars get lost in the orchestral texture).

I have the CD at home and it's quite nice music. Typical
Vienna style. I agree
that the music is a bit difficult to understand sometimes.
Never played to
music myself with an ensemble, but it's on a list of pieces
to
try.
Is the lute on the CD audible?
Interesting is perhaps that the first book contains lute
tabulature, while the
second does not. Conti was a lutenist, so perhaps these other
cantates were
performed with lute Dm continuo, although conti was also
known
as theorbo
player (and of course as 'kapellmeister').
There are several Conti manuscripts in Vienna and the music
is
a bit
rediscovered nowadays (for example his operas are regularly
performed in
Austria). Don't know if there are more examples of explicit
lute tabulature
in his music. I have read somewhere, if I remember well,
that
after his
death they asked weiss who was working in dresden to come as
his replacement.
