Franco Fagioli Arias for Caffarelli
Maxim Emelyanychev & Il Pomo d’Oro ARIAS FOR CAFFARELLI PARNASSUS ARTS PRODUCTIONS
Arias for Caffarelli Franco Fagioli, Countertenor Il Pomo d’Oro | Maxim Emelyanychev
Next to Farinelli, Caffarelli (his real name being Gaetano Majorana) is the most fa- mous castrato in the history of opera. His outstanding voice and the brilliant interpretation of his roles captivated the audience just as much as his colourful personality. Great moments in the histo- ry of music were followed by fierce rival- ry and eccentric escapades. He perfor- med during the premières of Haendel’s operas Serse and Faramondo in London and Haendel composed his famous aria « Ombra mai fu » (from Serse) for him. In the course of his eventful career Caf- farelli made a considerable fortune and was also awarded the title of Duke of San Dorato.
Franco Fagioli, one of the most renowned counter-tenors of our times, brings back to life the fascinating world of Caffarelli. The young and dynamic baroque orches- tra « Il Pomo d’oro », directed by Maxim Emelyanychev, will be his musical part- ner.
The CD is due to be published by NAÏVE on september 13th, 2013.
