Product Description

Album Description
Although they concentrated the majority of their time on ancient theatre musical recitation, the Florentine intellectuals and musicians from the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century who shaped western musical history also devoted much time to the writing of music for solo voice. These so-called arias from composers like Guilio Caccini and Claudio Monteverdi became very popular throughout Europe.

The Italian tenor William Mateuzzi , who's voice is characterised by an extremely high timbre, has specialised on the performance of the early canto art repertoire. Together with the lute player Huber Hoffmann and the Münchner Barocksolisten conducted by Hans Ludwig Hirsch he here presents selected "jewels" from the period when these songs were the regular diet of musical life. Included are many well-known arias like Caccini's "Amarilli mia bella" as well as Robert Jones' "Ite caldi sospiri".

Personnel:
William Matteuzzi - (tenor), Munchner Barocksolisten, Hans Ludwig Hirsch - (conductor)

3.0 out of 5 stars could have been better, 7 Jun 2007
By Furio (Genova - Italy) - See all my reviews
Recently I have bought several cds of old arias: this is probably the only one among them stylistically completely in order, probably due to the undoubtful mastery of Mr Matteuzzi (and to the competence of the producer).

His voice is not particularly beautiful nor sensual, some of his high notes sound decidedly unappealing.
He chosed to include some British arias, which is not a bad idea per se but would have required a whole anthology and a better pronunciation.

The orchestration sounds rather heavy and woodden
