Search - Porpora, Milanesi, Instrumental Ens of Rome :: Il Ritiro (Dig)

The Instrumental Ensemble with Giorgio Sasso is, without doubt, the most elegant and refined among the old music Italian ensembles. Awarded by international critics (Diapason, BBC Music magazine, Goldberg), its notoriety deserves to grow still more. For their first recording with Fuga Libera, the marvellous Raffaella Milanesi is invited to take part in the adventure. Her recent appearances in leading roles under the direction of Christophe Rousset, Rinaldo Alessandrini, Alessandro de Marchi, and Marc Minkowski have seduced all fans of beautiful voices. Along with discovering her, listeners are invited to participate in a passionate exploration of the Neapolitan repertoire of the mid-18th century, notably with two splendid cantatas from Leo and Porpora, presented in a world premiere recording.
