Arias for Domenico Gizzi-A Star Castrato in
This new Antonio Florio-directed Glossa recording, once more focusing on a famous Italian Baroque-era singer, again features soprano Roberta Invernizzi. Arias for Domenico Gizzi traces the spectacular career of an artist whose importance lay not just in his (castrato) voice, but also his skill in being engaged to sing in operas which served the political needs of powerful early 18th c. patrons. Ms. Invernizzis choice of arias from across Gizzis years of glory, typically representing heroic male characters, draws on operas by, among others, A. Scarlatti, Bononcini and Porpora.
