Great swathes have been lost, but much survives. Composers were largely local men, and texts would be pass around, taking different settings in each town. There are composers whose reputation nowadays rests on a single piece, if that. This is something of the back story to counter-tenor […]

Care pupille: The London Concert 1746 - Samuel Mariño in soprano arias by Handel and Gluck
Care pupille: The London Concert 1746 - arias by Handel and Gluck; Samuel Mariño, Handel Festspielorchester Halle, Michael Hofstetter; Orfeo Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 15 May 2020 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) The young Venezuelan counter-tenor sings soprano arias by Handel and Gluck in a debut recital which demonstrates his remarkable poise and technical facilitySamuel Mariño is a young counter-tenor from Venezuela whose voice has the astonishing ability to sing in the soprano register.

Samuel Mariño sings largely soprano castrato arias from Handel's Berenice, Atalanta and Arminio, and Gluck's Antigono, La Sofonisba, La Corona, Il […]
