Info for Mannaggia Amore - Giuseppe Porsile: Cantatas for Soprano

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 album.

"On this recordings La Cicala explores the music by Giuseppe Porsile, who lived at the time of Bach and Handel. His style combines features of the northern Italian school and the pre-classical style in Vienna. The recorded cantatas and chamber music were partly adapted for the Ensemble Cicala. In keeping with Porsile’s compositional style, La Cicala playing is fresh and unpretentious. The performances sound rather relaxed, but of course not unfocused or careless. The Canadian soprano Stefanie True, who is a permanent member of La Cicala, also adopts this straightforward style, giving the cantatas an unaffected and yet distinctive character." (pizzicato.lu)
