Some Words About the Work: 'El Maestro Farinelli'
"Most exploring work of the Castrato Farinelli is concentrate, inevitably, on vocal Music. This time, it is Farinelli El Maestro and the impresario we meet here, rather than the Superstar Castrato.
FARINELLI decided to break his contract in 1737, as he was called by the Queen of Spain to help cure the debilitating depression of Philip V. It became his responsibility to serenade the king every night an obligation he apparently maintained until the king s death in 1746.
The conductor Pablo Heras-Casado, however, focuses not on the singer but on the impresario, by examining the period (1746-1759) when he was Artistic Director of the Royal Theatres in Madrid and Aranjuez, an appointment that effectively put Spain on the Musical Map."
