Vivaldi
Sandrine Piau
Description:The most beautiful and dramatic Vivaldi arias recorded by stunning French soprano Sandrine Piau since 2005 are now gathered together on a single disc. The Naive Vivaldi Edition's most exquisite and versatile voice, Piau is today's leading Baroque soprano; a 'real ear-catcher...who shows a delightfully fresh manner in a rich vein of effective ornamentation’ (Gramophone on Vivaldi Arias OP30411). This collection also features countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, Marie-Nicole Lemieux and other luminaries in duets and ensemble music.
'After nearly three centuries of neglect of most of these gems, Sandrine Piau makes them her own in sparkling fashion. By turns a noble Silvia, a timid Licori, a prostrate Atenaide or a pirouetting Candace, she gives us, with her interpretation of these arias, so extraordinarily varied in terms of affects, treatment of the vocal line, instrumentation, key and tempi, a rich image of the operatic language of the composer of The Four Seasons' -Frédéric Delaméa
(Naive) OP30508
