Nicolo Jommelli - Arias for AltoOpis:Product DescriptionFor his new aria recital for Pan Classics, countertenor Filippo Mineccia teams up with the young Spanish ensemble, Nereydas, directed by Javier Ulises Illán. The repertoire, a selection of arias for alto by Niccolò Jommelli, aims at making clear the importance of this composer in the history of Italian opera, and especially in the early days of Classicism. It is bright, delicate and sensitive music, combining, in the word of scholar Marita P. McClymonds, 'German complexity, French decorative elements and Italian brio, welded together by an extraordinary gift for dramatic effectiveness'. This CD demonstrates a command of vocal writing, as found equally in the composer s operas and oratorios, and a new showcase for Filippo Mineccia s breathtaking vocal abilities; already among the leading countertenors of our time.

ReviewThis distinguished addition to the Italian countertenor Filippo Mineccia s discography is devoted to a still inadequately recognised Neapolitan composer, Niccolo Jommelli. Of eight arias here, the standout is Se mai senti spirarti sul volto, from Jommelli s La clemenza di Tito of 1771: expressive, spacious yet concentrated, with singing to match. But everything impresses, including the suave, exciting playing of the Spanish group Nereydas, under Javier Ulises Illan. --Stephen Pettitt The Sunday Times, 27th November 2016'Filippo Mineccia is a visceral performer for whom dramatic characterisation seems to be paramount, while the range of musical moods provides some scope for versatile and astute musicianship.' --David Vickers Gramophone, January 2017Autor:Filippo Mineccia; Nereydas; Javier Ulises IllánNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: EnglishData wydania: 2016-10-07Waga: 0.15 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 4.9 cmDługość: 5.6 cmNew Store StockUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
