Description:

The luxurious space used for the reception of Louis XIV has been turned into a theater for the "voices" of Baroque opera - with a video full of atmosphere! The splendor of Baroque music comes not only from the taste of the detailed ornamental sounds incorporated in the interpretation based on the style of the time, such as the playing of ancient instruments, but also from the atmosphere of the "place"! This CD with video was delivered from the "Hall of Mirrors" of the Palace of Versailles, an important World Heritage Site of the time. The birth of a style that allowed singers to fully enjoy the charm of a single voice in solo singing, a departure from the polyphonic art of the Renaissance, formed the axis of the art form of opera that would continue for more than 400 years. In this disc, three up-and-coming singers who know how to make their voices shine to the fullest, let us enjoy the full flavor of their voices.A 21st century version of the "Feast of the Three Great Countertenors" featuring a new generation of countertenor singers who are no less than the best of their generation! In this century, the art of countertenor singing has further evolved. Filippo Minecciaga from Italy sang in a charming alto range, while Sabadus and Marinho sang in a natural castrato-like manner, reaching the soprano range despite their male voices. The accompanying DVD, set against the gorgeous backdrop of the "Hall of Mirrors," is sure to enhance the opulence of the Baroque singing. The carefully selected program of masterpieces from the late Baroque period is full of gems that will remind you that Handel was not the only master of Baroque opera. Enjoy the pleasures of the ear and eye as you discover more. Naxos Japan
