This review is from: Il Primo Uomo - Arias For Nicolini (Audio CD)
Nicolini, the alto castrato that was most famous for creating the role of Giulio Cesare for Handel was a forerunner operatic castrato of Farinelli.In his debut album, Russian alto countertenor Dmitry Egorov chose excerpts from four operas, two by Alessandro Scarlatti, and two by Georg Friedrich Handel.
Egorov has a wonderful breadth control, and sings with brilliant intonation and crystal clear enunciation. He has quite a wide vocal range, but his timbre is not symmetrically bright in all registers. His coloratura technique is truly impeccable, and what is most impressive is his uncanny ability to shape long phrases.
His timbre is more suited to sacred music, with its innate serenity and evenness of tone production.
The ensemble La Stagione Frankfurt conducted by Schneider plays rather stolidly, and on the whole is better in the Scarlatti pieces.
Even so, this is a generally satisfying recording, with the vocalist showing considerable propensity to become one of the major baroque singers of this era.
Listmania!
