Napoli inedita

Description

Alongside Alessandro Scarlatti, many composers contributed to the rise of Neapolitan opera in the 18th century. Many have fallen into obscurity, leaving their works to sleep in the archives of the Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella. Harpsichordist Ignacio Prego conducts Xavier Sabata, Alicia Amo, and her ensemble Tiento Nuovo to resurrect some of the most beautiful unpublished arias by Sarri, Vinci, or Vignola. Dated from the height of Neapolitan opera, showcasing virtuosity in the service of unbridled expressiveness, they provide a magnificent testament to the art of affetti of these Neapolitan masters, which we rediscover here with renewed wonder.
