Vivaldi: Opera Arias - Pyrotechnics

Vivaldi: Opera Arias - Pyrotechnics

This album of Vivaldi arias features numbers from a dozen or so operas and includes five arias receiving their first recording. It joins Genaux's existing Virgin Classics catalogue, which includes recitals of Handel and Hasse, of bel canto arias and a star-studded complete recording of Vivaldi's Bajazet, with the dynamic Fabio Biondi conducting Europa Galante. Nominated for a Grammy, Bajazet prompted this response from Opera News: "True star status on this recording belongs to Vivica Genaux, whose performance of 'Qual guerriero in campo armato' sets what must be the new modern standard for coloratura singing. Her swiftness and accuracy demonstrate why Genaux is the leading interpreter of music written for Farinelli, the greatest vocal star of the Baroque era."
