Watch a trailer for Pablo Heras-Casado´s new album "Farinelli".
Pablo Heras-Casado, "one of the most exciting conductors of his generation" (Die Welt), makes his Archiv Produktion debut performing instrumental and vocal music associated with Farinelli, the legendary 18th-century castrato who served as impresario and court musician to the kings of Spain.
This new album with works of Baroque composers like Hasse, Porpora and Jomelli represents a fine selection of pieces and features eight world premier recordings, including some arias sung by Bejun Mehta, "the best countertenor in the world" (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
