Info for Benedetto Marcello: Sinfonias & Cantatas



With her wonderful soprano, Nuria Rial is one of the unmistakable voices of baroque music", Rondo praises the Catalan soprano. Together with the early music ensemble La Floridiana under Nicoleta Paraschivescu, Nuria Rial presents great treasures of Italian baroque music. As she did for her last album with dhm, "Giuseppe Sandoni", conductor and harpsichordist Nicoleta Paraschivescu has once again discovered great, previously hidden vocal and instrumental music - this time by Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739), brother of the composer Alessandro Marcello. Born in Venice into a noble family, Benedetto Marcello was a renowned composer of his time. His enormous musical output, which included operas, church music and instrumental music, was admired by subsequent composers such as Telemann, Rossini, Chopin and Verdi. Over 300 cantatas are attributed to him and can be found in the most important music libraries in Europe and America, four of which have now been recorded by Nuria Rial for this album. Three cantatas for soprano and basso continuo are even world premiere recordings and represent real highlights. They come from a manuscript decorated with magnificent drawings and deal with the classical theme of the separation of lovers with the hope of their reunion. The cantata "Non son morta nel partire" dispenses with the extended coloratura typical of the baroque period and remains almost entirely in cheerful E flat major. "Ti sento, amor, ti sento" as well as "A voi prati felici" are heartbreaking laments about unrequited love. The wonderful cantata "Qual turbine improvviso" evokes the towering clouds and the unleashing of the winds over the sea as a metaphor of the perilous journey across the "sea of love" through the impetuous strings that repeatedly interrupt the singing voice. The ensemble also presents five short, fantastic instrumental symphonies that were probably originally part of serenades, intermezzi, oratorios and cantatas. Here they are each intended as an instrumental introduction to the cantatas, quite a common way of using them at the time. This album is an absolute must for lovers of Baroque music and a valuable contribution to the preservation of Benedetto Marcello's musical heritage.

Nuria Rial
The soprano Nuria Rial, who was born in Manresa in Catalonia, initially studied voice and piano at the Conservatory of Barcelona; after earning a double degree, she continued her training from 1998 to 2002 in Kurt Widmer’s concert class at the Basel Academy of Music. In 2003 she won the Helvetia Patria Jeunesse Foundation Prize in Lucerne. Baroque music is the focus of her repertoire, but Rial is also a successful Mozart performer and lieder singer. She has performed in concert with such ensembles as Il Giardino Armonico, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Concerto Köln, The English Concert, L’Arpeggiata, Il Pomo d’Oro, and Café Zimmermann and has worked with conductors like Laurence Cummings, Teodor Currentzis, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Paul Goodwin, Thomas Hengelbrock, Gustav Leonhardt, and Trevor Pinnock. In addition to her concert activities, Nuria Rial also appears in selected opera engagements. She has performed in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at the Staatsoper Berlin and in Cavalli’s Eliogabalo at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, both times under the direction of René Jacobs. At the Teatro Real in Madrid she participated in Osvaldo Golijov’s Ainadamar, in the staging by Peter Sellars, and Iván Fischer engaged her as Pamina for a performance series of Mozart’s The Magic Flute with his Budapest Festival Orchestra. Nuria Rial has won the Echo Klassik Award four times: in 2009, when she was named Young Female Singer of the Year for her recording of Haydn arias; in 2009 and 2010 for the projects Teatro d’amore and Via crucis, which she recorded with Christina Pluhar and L’Arpeggiata; and in 2012 for her Telemann album with the Basel Chamber Orchestra. Her CD Ave Maria won Holland’s Edison Award.
