With the ten arias on Tormento d’Amore, Ian Bostridge demonstrates the important place that the tenor voice held in Italian opera from the mid-17th to the mid-18th century – often thought of as the era of the castrato. During this time, there were two main centers of opera in Italy: Venice, where such composers as Cavalli, Vivaldi, Cesti, Stradella, Sartorio and Legrenzi were active, and Naples, home to Provenzale, Caresana, Vinci and Fago.
In addition to arias – two of them in world premiere recordings – the album offers five instrumental sinfonie and a traditional Neapolitan song, “Lu cardillo” (“The Goldfinch”), a songbird closely associated with Naples. Bostridge is partnered by conductor Antonio Florio and his ensemble, Cappella Neapolitana.
