On his new album, entitled Sopranista (meaning male soprano), Samuel Mariño sings music that dates back to a time when gender norms in opera were in many ways more nuanced and fluid. Here Mariño performs arias written for the celebrated male “castrato” singers from the days of Mozart and Gluck, which have largely been sung by female voices in the centuries since castration was banned. The album opens with the famous Cherubino aria from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, with deliberate gender-blurring themes, in which a female singer sings the role of a boy. Many of these pieces have never been recorded by a male soprano until now.
Mariño has been contacted by a number of musicologists eager for him to try his hand at arias written for male sopranos that had been neglected for centuries. On his debut Decca album Mariño gives works written in the 1780s, by Joseph Bologne and Domenico Cimarosa, their world recording premieres.
