Acerca de este CD
Para esta segunda entrega de Glossa Portrait se ha elegido a una cantante que, desde los años 90, ha destacado en amplias parcelas de la música barroca italiana, un repertorio cuyas cualidades permanecieron un tanto minusvaloradas hasta la aparición de músicos con la suficiente calidad y conocimiento. Uno de estos músicos es la soprano Roberta Invernizzi, dotada de una asombrosa capacidad para dominar las exigencias técnicas, expresivas y temperamentales demandadas por los compositores de aquel tiempo. Muchas son ya las grabaciones de música de Vivaldi, Monteverdi o Alessandro Scarlatti que se benefician de la chispeante presencia de Invernizzi, que también ha participado en numerosas de las incursiones en la opera buffa napolitana de la mano de Antonio Florio.
Dados los notables éxitos (en concierto y en disco) de Roberta Invernizzi a la hora de retratar a algunos de los personajes femeninos más famosos de las óperas de madurez de Haendel, fue sin duda una decisión acertada por parte de Fabio Bonizzoni llamarla para nada menos que cinco de los siete discos que conforman su aclamado proyecto de cantatas italianas del compositor sajón. Este álbum doble de Glossa Portrait recoge una amplia selección de arias de estas grabaciones, en las que Invernizzi retrata con viveza y visceralidad a personajes arcádicos (pero muy humanos en sus comportamientos) como Diana, Cloris, Amarilis, Lidia o Fili. Además de experimentar el punto de vista «femenino» de estas cantatas italianas de Handel, también podemos disfrutar en este nuevo lanzamiento de las cualidades instrumentales de los componentes del conjunto dirigido por Fabio Bonizzoni, La Risonanza.
Roberta Invernizzi is very clearly one of the finest sopranos to be heard today in the Baroque - and especially the Italian Baroque - repertory, as evidenced by the beauty that she brings not only to operatic roles and vocal roles which have been essayed by many other famous singers both on record and in performance, but also by her sense of clarity in and characterization of unknown music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The rediscovery of so much Italian music is a reflection of the labour and artistry of numerous musical minds but as a kind of prima donna inter pares the Milanese soprano stands out from many others for the intensity of her approach, to the point that she is emerging as a new muse for other distinguished modern-day practitioners of the Italian Baroque such as Fabio Bonizzoni and Antonio Florio who contribute here their own thoughts on the artistry of Roberta Invernizzi, adding to the soprano’s own considerations about her musical life.[read more...]
Fabio Bonizzoni’s series, with La Risonanza, of Handel Italian cantate con stromenti for Glossa has now come to a conclusion with seven volumes recorded, but not before the group were awarded the 2010 Stanley Sadie Handel Recording Prize for the fifth instalment, Clori, Tirsi e Fileno (with sopranos Yetzabel Arias Fernández and Roberta Invernizzi and contralto Romina Basso in the three named roles). In commending the disc the jury of the Recording Prize made the following comments, “La Risonanza produces a delightful performance that presents all of the strengths and virtues we have come to associate with their recent explorations of Handel’s music.

In the third instalment in Fabio Bonizzoni’s survey of the secular cantatas with instrumental accompaniment composed by Georg Frideric Handel during his stay in Italy, come a quartet of works associated with the Venice-born maecenas Pietro Ottoboni – including the substantial Ero e Leandro, the libretto for which is plausibly considered to have been written by the Cardinal Ottoboni himself. As well as the seldom-performed cantata for bass, Spande ancora a mio dispetto and Ah! Crudel, nel pianto mio scored for soprano solo, Bonizzoni also directs the Spanish-texted No se emendará jamás.[read more...]
