Presentation
What if this “sopranista” became a worldwide phenomenon? With two CDs recorded in Versailles and two pages in the New York Times, Samuel Mariño has earned his credentials among music lovers and fans of the mythical era of the castrati.
Show moreWith his ductile and naturally high-pitched soprano voice, he performs in the Hall of Mirrors as an icon of glamorous singing, perhaps with a fashion show twist? This would fit in perfectly with the choice of virtuoso arias composed for the castrati who were all the rage in Europe: Handel, Hasse, Gluck, Mozart, Cimarosa wrote for them the most beautiful garlands of musical flowers, pure sensuality and a parade of coloratura! The Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal de Versailles carries Samuel Mariño in exuberant and heart-rending works of the Baroque repertoire, conducted by Stefan Plewniak: watch out for a music fashionista!
