Mille Affetti - Bruno De Sa - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Exploring the vocal music of Mozart and his contemporaries, soprano Bruno de Sá evokes Mille affetti – a thousand emotions – and adds six world premiere recordings to the catalogue: arias by Luigi Cherubini, Luigi Caruso, Felice Alessandrini, Franz Seydelmann, Johann Friedrich Reichardt, and Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli. Joining him for this adventurous programme of sacred and secular repertoire are the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra, organist Marcin Szelest, the NFM Choir and conductor Jarosław Thiel.

Bruno de Sá’s debut album on Erato, Roma travestita , focused on Baroque repertoire, causing BBC Music Magazine to marvel at his “immaculate legato, gift for scintillating decoration, dramatic octave drops and stratospheric ascents above the stave.” Now he applies those talents to the glories of the Classical era, exemplified by Mozart’s famous solo motet, ‘Exsultate, jubilate’ with its effervescent closing ‘Alleluia’. “This seemed like the moment to explore different musical possibilities,” says Bruno, “and also a period that really speaks to me – emotionally, musically and technically. There are some very virtuosic things here, but I’ve never struggled with them because they are such a joy to sing. I hope that people feel and hear that.”
