Description

Amazon.co.uk You've seen the film, now hear the CD. Well, not the soundtrack of the film Farinelli, with its synthetically produced re-creations of the sound of the great 18th-century castrato, but American mezzo Vivica Genaux's impressive collection of operatic arias inspired by Farinelli's genius. The astoundingly gifted Carlo Broschi detto Farinelli was feted across Europe, not least by royalty. The often fabulously florid arias featured here showcase a cross-section of the composers who were captivated by his talents--Porpora, Broschi, Giacomelli and Johann Adolf Hasse. Given the wide range of Farinelli's voice (and barring the unthinkable intervention of a scalpel) these arias must now be the preserve of female singers. Genaux's voice offers the ideal compromise: evenly produced throughout the range, not too "fat" nor too feminine--and able effortlessly to cope with the virtuoso pyrotechnics of arias such as "Qual guerriero in campo armato" from Broschi's opera Idaspe, as well as delivering melting sounds in the likes of Giacomelli's "Mancare Dio mi sento" from Adriano in Siria. The Berlin players are immaculate, sensitively directed by counter tenor René Jacobs... maybe wishing he could tackle these arias himself.--Andrew Green
