Antonio Brunelli

I bei legami *
Qual dolor, qual martire
O soave dolore
Bella Licori - Dolce Drusilla - Piangerem sempre
Se ridete gioiose (Giulio Caccini)
La Pastorella mia spietata
Ohimé che troppo è vero (Vincenzo Calestani)
Quando il sol apparisce
Ninfe cantiam
Tu piangi al mio partire (Lorenzo Allegri)
Occhi belli, occhi celesti (Giovanni Bettini)
Non havea Febo ancora
Del bell' Arno in sù la riva *
Interrotto sospir
Amorosa pargoletta
Belle donne i vostri amanti

Critics

AMADEUS – June 2005

The performance perfectly captures Brunelli’s mastery and exalts its changing emotional nuances. The instrumental support is another reciting voice which multiples the narrative character of the interpretation.

AUDIOreview nr. 258 – June 2005

Freshness is the most striking aspect in this performance with luminous timbres, especially felt in the rich presence of instruments.

ABEILLEMUSIQUE.COM – September 2005

Here is Renaissance Italy at a glance, played and sung with all the necessary emotion: it is perfectly convincing.

LE MONDE DE LA MUSIQUE – September 2005

Thanks to the AuserMusici ensemble for the talented musical achievement.

L’OPERA – September 2005

The protagonists of the CD enthusiastically embarked on the praiseworthy venture of giving back life to these pages by blowing in them an air of fizzy freshness. Ipata works with attention on colours, phrases and dosage of the musical instrument, without losing sight of the emotional environment of each piece. Remarkable is the first-rate performance by the soprano Elena Cecchi-Fedi.
