{"product_id":"baroque-hero-various-baroque-hero","title":"Baroque Hero \/ Various- Baroque Hero (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Baroque opera the dramatic figure of Gaius Julius Caesar received a considerable amount of attention from librettists and composers alike, and not just from G.F. Handel working with Nicola Francesco Haym. With Giulio Cesare, a Baroque hero, Raffaele Pe creates a full recital devoted to the Ancient Roman warrior and Dictator of the Republic, drawn from operas spanning the length of the eighteenth century. With refined musicality and artistry the countertenor Pe approaches roles demonstrating contrasting personality traits of the Caesar who was capable not only of heroic acts but also of compassion, of amorous exhilaration, of physical and emotional fragility. The sweep of the eighteenth century encompassed by these compositions also embraced the onstage heyday of the castratos: including Felice Salimbeni, Senesino, Cusanino, Sciroletto and Gasparo Pacchiarotti - demanding from Raffaele Pe great agility in covering both contralto and soprano castrato tessituras. Alongside excerpts from Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto there are arias from works which Pe has been working onto provide modern performing scores together with scholar Valentina Anzani such as by Carlo Francesco Pollarolo, Niccolò Piccinni, Geminano Giacomelli andFrancesco Bianchi. Pe is accompanied here by La Lira di Orfeo directed by Luca Giardini, in this, their debut recording.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiulio Cesare In Egitto, Hwv 17: Va Tacito E Nascosto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Morte Di Cesare: Sapr\u0026amp;ograve; D\u0026amp;#39;ogn\u0026amp;#39;alma Audace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCesare In Egitto: Il Cor Che Sdegnato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCesare In Egitto: Spargi Omai Di Dolce Oblio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiulio Cesare In Egitto: Sdegnoso Turbine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiulio Cesare In Egitto, Hwv 17: Son Nata A Lagrimar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCesare In Egitto: Tergi Le Belle Lagrime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCesare In Egitto: Bella Tel Dica Amore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiulio Cesare Egitto: Non Temer!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiulio Cesare In Egitto, Hwv 17: Al Lampo Dell\u0026amp;#39;armi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Morte Di Cesare: Rasserena I Mesti Rai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAriodante, Hwv 33: Scherza Infida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 8424562235168\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Glossa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46982301417693,"sku":"8424562235168","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3828568.jpg?v=1762923206","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/baroque-hero-various-baroque-hero","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
