Swedish mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg ventures wholeheartedly into the musical mind of castrato Luigi Marchesi at the turbulent and revolutionary end of the 18th century in a vivid recreation on this recording. Joined by the Stile Galante and conductor Stefano Aresi, the programme is enhanced not only by meticulous attention to the original instruments and ensemble configurations used by orchestras accompanying Marchesi, but by access to some 200 contemporary accounts of the singer’s music making. Luigi Cherubini's aria appears on this album twice, with two entirely different sets of original ornaments.
