About

With 'I Viaggi di Faustina' Glossa launches a new collection focusing on famous Italian singers from the 17th and 18th centuries, whose travels [viaggi] bear witness to the intense level of artistic activity then taking place in the major cities of Europe.

Faustina Bordoni, the brilliant diva with whom we begin this series, pursued her career mainly in Naples (the principal focus of this CD) and Venice, but also in cities such as Bologna, Parma, Dresden and London. These were cities hosting – with great success – operas by Johann Adolph Hasse (Bordoni’s husband), Nicola Porpora, Leonardo Vinci, Francesco Mancini and Domenico Sarro; most of these composers are represented on this first selection of wonderful arias.

The artist chosen to reincarnate Faustina Bordoni is considered by many to be the leading soprano in Baroque music today: Roberta Invernizzi. In repertoire that fits like a glove, Invernizzi displays her renowned virtuosity along with a shared musical sensitivity with Antonio Florio and I Turchini.

This is Roberta Invernizzi’s second release on Glossa as the main protagonist, the first being her outstanding and very highly-appreciated album of Vivaldi arias. Devised by the scholar Dinko Fabris and conductor Antonio Florio, with further musicological advice coming from Juan José Carreras and Giulia Veneziano, this new collection also gives a central importance to the texts and to the iconography which put each recording in context; in this way endeavouring to create the most complete and stimulating vision possible of the conditions surrounding these inimitable artists.

Reviews

June 2013

Invernizzi triumphs in this recording, re-animating Baroque prima donna Faustina Bordoni's legacy with grace and authority. The Italian soprano deftly captures Bordoni's celebrated qualities with precision, noble invention and pure yet warm tone. She sings with a dramatic intensity, poised virtuosity and disarming spontaneity that shows us how Bordoni often moved her audiences to tears.

July 2013

Invernizzi's beautiful slow singing and the sensitive string band are breathtaking in the siciliano 'Un guardo solo ancor' from Vinci's Il trionfo di Camilla'.

June 2013

this is another disc that will win friends for the stylish art of Invernizzi and buried treasure of the Italian Baroque.
