Info for Lux in tenebris

Die junge Sopranistin Silvia Frigato lässt mit ihrer Interpretation die vier sakralen Arien für Sopran und Orchester aus dem Neapel des 18. Jahrhunderts regelrecht erstrahlen. Die drei Komponisten sind repräsentativ für die ebenso vielen Generationen einer betriebsamen Dynastie: Francesco Feo war der Onkel von Gennaro Manna, der wiederum Onkel von Gaetano Manna war. Der Vergleich ihrer Partituren lässt uns die außergewöhnliche Entwicklung von der Strenge des späten Barocks zur Eleganz des galanten Stils nachempfinden.
