An evening of baroque splendor: Countertenor Franco Fagioli and the Gabetta Consort bring the legendary music of Farinelli to life – virtuosic, passionate, and full of emotion.
Description
Franco Fagioli, one of the most prominent countertenors of our time, and the Gabetta Consort dedicate this evening to the music of the legendary castrato Farinelli. With stylistic authenticity and technical mastery, they perform arias and instrumental works from the 18th century that made Farinelli one of the most dazzling singer personalities of his era.
The program brings together works by Porpora, Hasse, Vinci, and Vivaldi, including the dramatic aria "Parto con l’alma in pene" and Vivaldi’s "Grosso Mogul." At its heart is the dialogue between voice and solo violin, capturing the musical competitions of the Baroque with virtuosic elegance. The repertoire is further enriched by recitatives such as "Giunta all’estremo" and spectacular instrumental pieces like Geminiani’s "La Folia."
An evening that makes the passion, brilliance, and emotional depth of the Baroque sound world tangible in all its facets—from moving melodies to breathtaking virtuosity.
