Renowned for portraying the music of the baroque like no one else,
Cecilia Bartoli presents her new recording of arias famously performed
by legendary castrato, Farinelli.
Exploring the complex gender roles of the world of baroque opera, and
highlighting the phenomenon of the castrati, a horrifying practice
which led to some of the most celebrated work of the period.
Featuring works by Farinelli’s brother, Riccardo Broschi, and his
mentor, Nicola Porpora, as well as Hasse, Caldara and Giacomelli.
Including two new world premiere recordings, from Porpora’s Polifemo and
Broschi’s La Merope.
Thank you for sharing!!
