Porpora: Cantatas Op. 1 (pt. 1 – soprano)

admin — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 15:48:21 +0000

Forces: soprano & continuo

The first six of the cantatas dedicated to the Prince of Wales in 1735

All to texts by Metastasio, they are virtuosic, filled with beautifully written recitatives and arias, perhaps the high-point of Porpora’s work in this genre.

D’amore il primo dardo

Nel mio sonno almen

Tirsi chiamare a Nome

Queste che miri o Nice

Scrivo in te l’amato nome (Il nome)

Già la notte s’avvicina
