Antonio Vivaldi - Catone in Utica

Posted By: Bibixy

Date: 26 Oct 2013 23:12:48

Naive's Vivaldi Edition is proud to release another of the unknown operas by Antonio Vivaldi. Conducted by one of the masters of baroque opera, Alan Curtis, and gathering an impressive vocal cast (Topi Lehtipuu, Roberta Mameli, Ann Hallenberg, Sonia Prina), Catone in utica marks the 15th opera in the series and is one of the Venetian master's great, late operas.

The performance is glorious. The conducting and the playing have tremendous energy, and the singing is to die for. Ann Hallenberg's sensational Emilia rightly dominates. The big confrontations between Topi Lehtipuu's Cato and Roberta Mameli's Caesar are electrifying: Mameli, in a role originally written for a star castrato, also gets to sing Se Mai Senti Spirarti Sul Volto, among the most ravishing arias in Vivaldi's output. There are astounding contributions, too, from Sonia Prina as Marzia, Cato's implacable daughter, and the great Romina Basso as Fulvio, Caesar's beguiling but two-faced sidekick. The Guardian

Il Complesso Barocco
dir. Alan Curtis

The Vivaldi Edition, a recording venture conceived by the Italian musicologist Alberto Basso and the independent label Naïve, is one of the most ambitious recording projects of the twenty-first century.
Its principal objective is to record the massive collection of Vivaldi autograph manuscripts preserved today in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, some 450 works. Incredibly, this is the private library of scores Vivaldi had at home at the time of his death in Vienna in 1741 and includes his extant operas, hundreds of concertos, sacred compositions and cantatas. Much of this music has not been heard since the 18th century.
