Maria Ladurner, Barbara Heindlmeier & La Festa Musicale - Storie di Napoli (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Eighteenth century Naples was not only a creative, cultural melting pot, but also one of the most important cities in Europe. Full of impressive contrasts between decay and splendour, and with an immense artistic output whose musical influences stretched across Europe, attracting many musicians and composers, Naples was a source of fascination and has retained its appeal to the current day.

This musical cityscape comprises concertos and arias by Neapolitan composers such as Domenico Sarro, Nicola Fiorenza, Giuseppe Porsile and Francesco Mancini, but also by composers such as Alessandro Scarlatti, who worked in Naples for many years and whose fame and inventiveness (like Mancini’s) radiated far beyond the borders of the Kingdom of Naples.
Inextricably linked with Naples is the mythological figure of Parthenope, the singing, beguiling siren who, according to legend, founded Naples. It is therefore she who guides us through this album, introducing us to the stories – storie – of her city. These stories are about the founding of Naples, its underworld and the colourful celebrations within its lively street life.
