About
Giuseppe Porsile (1680-1750) was one of the very few representatives of the Neapolitan School at the otherwise rather conservative Imperial Court in Vienna. Inês d'Avena and the ensemble La Cicala continue their exploration of the Neapolitan repertoire, which had previously been ignored. The soprano Stefanie True lets several forgotten vocal jewels shine in first recordings featured on this disc.

November 2020
True’s stylish naturality, unforced melodic ease and delivery are exceptional in the portrait of a spurned yet steadfast lover (Le sofferte amare pene), a paean to the virtuous modesty of an April violet (Violetta gentil) and a lover’s melancholic comparison of a spectacular sunrise to the woman who has stolen his heart (E già tre volte).
