La Valeria Grotta * Antonio Farina: Venere E Marte [New CD] 4/29/14 End of An Ear12At the close of the seventeenth century, Farina, Minei, and Netti created some of the most popular pieces of their day. Their dialogues for soprano and bass offer a colorful palette of emotions. This recording presents the first modern performance of several pieces that once enchanted Neapolitan evenings. Their interplay of contrasting passions is a breathtaking musical postcard from the Bay of Naples. UPC: 0788792034389 Label: Glaux Records Release
