  • Description

    Farinelli's Violin, the new CD by baroque violinist Jorge Jimenez, is dedicated to the music written for the great Farinelli, the most famous castrato of all time - the Freddy Mercury, the Lady Gaga of the 18th century...!

    With this programme, Jorges Jimenez creates a sound fiction in which Farinelli's most famous arias are freed from their words and brought back to their essence: the music. Even though the arias have been 'stripped' of their text (using the historical techniques of transcription, of course, which were very fashionable at the time), they showcase Farinelli's artistry and evoke the noble sound and his open-throated messa di voce that inspired composers such as his brother Riccardo Broschi to write such charming arias as Ombra fedele or Son qual nave. And the arias that Hasse and Porpora wrote for Farinelli also bring us very close to his seductive supernaturalism.
