Gaillard,Ophelie Napoli! CD

Continuing her exploration of the cello repertoire, on Napoli!, Oph?lie Gaillard takes listeners on a tour of baroque Naples. We meet emblematic figures such as virtuosos Fiorenza, Lanzetti and Francischello, the composers Durante and Leo, the Spanish Ortiz and the Madrid-born Corselli, and even, in the course of a sonata or a dance, Scaramouche, Harlequin and their comrades from the commedia dell'arte. The Neapolitan soul is revealed in all this richness: hybrid, sensual, contrasting, both theatrical and profoundly authentic. Alongside the Pulcinella Orchestra as well as Sandrine Piau, Marina Viotti and Luan G?es, Oph?lie Gaillard's cello draws on it's many sources, from popular to lyrical, secular to sacred. Unpublished works by Porpora, Bonno and Barbella confirm that Naples has not finished giving up it's secrets.
