About

Geminiano Giacomelli (1692-1740), like many other composers of his time, enjoyed wide popularity during his lifetime thanks to his operatic endeavors and was later forgotten, a victim of the rapid changes in vocal taste and style.

Giacomelli’s theatrical writing is full of wit, invention and melodic flair, and there is, at least, an honest attempt in the portrayal of the characters’ emotions. The writing is very much that of his time, focusing on the practice of full belcanto in all his glory.

Our selection, encompassing the period from 1729 to 1735, tries to display not only Giacomelli’s “lively imagination”, but also the wide spectrum of affetti from which the opera seria of the time usually profited. In fact, the eleven arias used here (accompanied by some sinfonias) depict a various number of feelings and situations, as well as several different styles: a colourful, varied series of arias ranging from pathetic to furious, from sentimental to proud, from optimistic to dramatic.

Reviews

June 2018

'Mancare, oh Dio, mi sento', from Giacomelli's setting of Adriano in Siria (1733) is both the finest aria on the CD an also much the most developed. It is an aria also admirably suited to the considerable talents of Flavio Ferri-Benedetti, a singer not only gifted with a voice a considerable beauty, but also of a musical intelligence that allows him to capture with perfect sense bith the musical and literary syntax of the aria's agonized opening lines. He is excellent, too in three fine arias from Giacomelli's sole surviving opera, Merope… a rewarding collection worth the attention of anyone interested in Baroque opera.

[Ferri-Benedetti] combines outstanding diction with long-breathed legato and punchy bravura singing.
