About

A new Antonio Florio-directed recording from Glossa, once more focusing on a famous Italian singer from the Baroque era, again features the gorgeous vocal qualities of the modern-day Italian interpreter of such music, Roberta Invernizzi. This new and glorious succession of virtuoso arias captivated audiences in Roman theatres through the vocal chords of one eminent singer from 1718 onwards...

Arias for Domenico Gizzi traces the spectacular career of an artist whose importance lay not just in his voice, but his skill in being engaged to sing in operas which served the political needs of the powerful early 18th-century patrons: from Queen Christina of Sweden and James Stuart, 'The Old Pretender' to Roman cardinals. Roberta Invernizzi’s choice of arias from across Gizzi’s years of glory, typically representing heroic male characters, draws on operas by Alessandro Scarlatti, Leonardo Vinci, Domenico Sarro, Francesco Feo, Giovanni Battista Costanzi, Giovanni Bononcini and Nicola Porpora.

As ever, Antonio Florio leads a zestful I Turchini for this new recording, whilst Giulia Veneziano, in her booklet essay, opens up what, for many, will be a previously uncharted voyage into the history of singing in its own right.

Reviews

August 2015

Invernizzi is sovereign, commanding the band with the authority of an absolute ruler. Her execution dazzles through its seeming ease, as even fiendishly difficult passages yield to her delight in virtuosity.

CD Review 31st January 2015

an attractive assembly of arias by Vinci, Alessandro Scarlatti, Bononcini, Porpora and others…a pretty good introduction to some rare repertoire, separated by just enough instrumental symphony as to allow us to breathe.

Early Music Review February 2015

Invernizzi sings with her customary elegance and intelligence … I Turchini are also on top form.

July 2015

you will be overwhelmed by the musical riches on display on this disc and-even more important-by the superlative singing by Roberta Invernizzi and the playing of I Turchini. More eloquent baroque singing and playing hardly exists.

June 2015

Invernizzi is to my mind at her best. The lustrous smile in her voice, combined with an inimitable expressive use of her native language, is here irresistibly beguiling … the CD is a valuable addition to the catalogue, as indispensable to Invernizzi’s many fans as it is to aficionados of Baroque opera.

18th January 2015

Alluring of voice and dazzling of technique, the (female) soprano Invernizzi gives 15 of [Gizzi's] arias beautifully.

1st February 2015

her tone is brilliant and pure, especially at the top of the register, but lacks raw power...The music by Feo, Vinci, Scarlatti and others is intermittently compelling, with Porpora’s Adelaide of 1723 emerging as an opera worth exploring.

Early Music Today March/May 2015

Roberta Invernizzi sings superbly.
