Info for Anime Amanti

Frühbarocke Poesie: Eine Stimme, eine Laute, ein Seufzer – nichts könnte schlichter sein, und nichts unvergesslicher. Dieser Ausdruck von Herzensregungen und Seelenqualen ist gewiss so alt wie die Menschheit; und doch waren diese Affekte eine Rückeroberung der Renaissance. Die italienische Sopranistin Roberta Mameli setzt ihre große Liebe zu dieser Musik mit einem außergewöhnlich intensiven Gefühl für Sprache und Drama um. Für Alpha hat sie Arien aus dieser Zeit von Monteverdi, Strozzi, Merula, Peri u. a zusammen mit dem Lautenisten Luca Pianca aufgenommen.

„So emphatisch, so psychologisch präzise und plastisch exponiert Roberta Mameli das Gefühlsleben dieser Figur …. als sei es nicht komponierte Musik, sondern das Selbstverständlichste der Welt. … eine heße Empfehlung“ (SWR2)
