With 'I Viaggi di Faustina' Glossa launches a new collection focusing on famous Italian singers from the 17th and 18th centuries, whose travels bear witness to the intense level of artistic activity then taking place in the major cities of Europe. Faustina Bordoni, the brilliant diva with whom we begin this series, pursued her career mainly in Naples and Venice, but also in cities such as Bologna, Parma, Dresden and London. These were cities hosting, with great success, operas by Hasse (Bordoni's husband), Porpora, Vince, Mancini and Sarro; most of these composers are represented on this first selection of wonderful arias. In this repertoire, that fits like a glove, Roberta Invernizzi displays her renowned virtuosity along with a shared musical sensitivity with Antonio Florio and I Turchini.
