La Partenope (opera) by Leonardo Vinci

The present video is the short presentation of the recording performed by Dynamic and published on DVD as a world premiere title. The superb performance leaded by Antonio Florio, his Turchini and a cast of true world renowned specialists of the Baroque repertoire such as Giuseppe De Vittorio, Sonia Prina, Maria Grazia Schiavo, Maria Ercolano Eufemia tufano Stefano Ferrari Charles do Santos and Borja Quiza. The orchestra is directed by Gustavo Tambascio. Parthenope "with the maiden face" was one of the three sirens defeated by Ulysses, whose body washed ashore in the spot where Naples was founded. The opera has had to wait almost three centuries before its rediscovery by Antonio Florio and his Turchini orchestra. Their version, for the first time in the history of the recent Early Opera Revival, has reconstructed the scenes, ballets and even the battles of the 18th-century representations. If in 1725 the first performance of Vinci's Partenope/Rosmira coincided with the death of the librettist Stampiglia and of Alessandro Scarlatti, in 1730, year of Vinci's death, Handel would stage his own Partenope, an homage to an Italian colleague he most admired and to the city of the musical siren. Founded in 1987 by Antonio Florio, the ensemble I Turchini is made up of instrumentalists and singers living and working in Naples who specialize in the performance of Neapolitan music from the 17th and 18th centuries and in the rediscovery of music by highly-gifted composers who are now largely unknown. The unique programmes and rigorous approach to Baroque performing practices make I Turchini one of the most interesting ensembles in current European musical life.
