Johann Adolf Hasse: Artaserse

Johann Adolf Hasse: Artaserse

A classic work of its genre and historical period, Artaserse was premiÃ¨red in Venice in 1730 by the most famous singers of the day: Farinelli in the role of Arbace, Cuzzoni as Mandane and the castrato Nicolino as Artabano. It was a success for Hasse, who would, in 1740 and 1760, re-propose the same work in two different versions. Our DVD features the Venetian one, in world premiÃ¨re. The cast is extraordinary, with the countertenor Franco Fagioli giving a great performance of the role that was Farinelli's. Fagioli easily goes up and down the extension of more than three octaves, maintaining a uniform timbre and remarkable power and resonance. Also stunning, is the aria ""Pallido sole"" sung by Sonia Prina.
