GCD 922602

With Tenebrae Antonio Florio continues on his journey of exploration of the Neapolitan Baroque, now appearing on Glossa, with a timely release of Lamentations of Jeremiah from one known composer in Cristofaro Caresana, long-valued by Florio (and whose vocal music occupied most of his previous recording in L Adoriatione de Maggi), and another from the succeeding generation at the end of the 17th century in Gaetano Veneziano, a musician taught by Francesco Provenzale. The vocal works on this new recording are scored for a solo singer and this role is taken by a soprano, also from Naples, Valentina Varriale, fast becoming a central member of Antonio Florio s musical organisation, the recently-renamed I Turchini. Instrumentalists from I Turchini take the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of the Neapolitan style in string music a Sinfonia and a four-part Sonata by Veneziano and one of his contemporaries, Giuseppe Antonio Avitrano.
