General Interest Giuseppe Sarti/Johann Simon Mayr/Domenico Cimarosa/Luigi Cherubini/ - Arias for Luigi Marchesi Product DescriptionRecapturing the impact made by the colourful figure of the castrato Luigi Marchesi at the turbulent and revolutionary end of the 18th century has been a project embracing an exhibition, symposia, the publication of scores associated with the divo and this fabulous new recording performed by Ann Hallenberg, Stile Galante and conductor Stefano Aresi. It has been possible, through painstaking work, to identify not just the principal operatic arias composed with Marchesi in mind, but also his special and astonishing brand of ornamentation and worked-out cadenzas, developed in the course of a career spanning five decades. Possessed of a vast vocal range some three octaves Marchesi, called the 'Apollo of his times', was courted all over Europe, from St Petersburg to Vienna, London to Milan, Munich, Naples and Warsaw. He even rebuffed Napoleon Bonaparte s entreaties to hear him sing in 1796. The Swedish mezzo Ann Hallenberg ventures wholeheartedly into the musical mind of this extraordinary star of late opera seria in a vivid recreation backed not just by meticulous attention to the original instrumentation and ensemble configurations that accompanied Marchesi, but by access to some 200 contemporary accounts of the singer s music-making.Review'Ann Hallenberg s powers of supple precision, melodic sweetness, flawless coloratura and expressive pathos are on compelling form' --David Vickers Gramophone, October 2015BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE OPERA CHOICE Performance: ***** Recording: ***** 'There is perhaps no singer better able to meet this challenge than Swedish mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg: her rich timbre, the eveness of her register and the precision of her intonation evoke Marchesi s vocal qualities convincingly ... Most importantly she embraches Marchesi s dramatic characters, whose enactment might confound a lesser singer ... Complementing Hallenberg is the conducting of Stefano Aresi, who makes the bank subtly shadow her words.' --Berta Joncus BBC Music Magazine, December 2015 Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
