Description: The celebrated soprano castrato Luigi Marchesi was also a composer of chamber vocal music. His Ariette are sweet musical cameos dominated by remarkable elegance. They perfectly embody the taste of the time and represent Marchesi’s wish to use his popularity as an opera singer to push in front of the audience a more all-round image of himself as an artist. Italian-English texts. Francesca Cassinari (soprano), Stile Galante; Stefano Aresi.
