Vivaldi - Argippo
Recorded in October 2019 in Mondoví
Reviews
“Le plateau est, en fait, dominé par la jeune soprano suisse Marie Lys. Lauréate de nombreux concours, ces dernières années, elle ne se laisse pas déstabiliser par la virtuosité vivaldienne, ni par celle de Pescetti, Porpora ou Vinci. Une voix à suivre !”
— Opera Magazine, January 2021
“She possesses a fresh, lively and bright soprano with an impressive degree of vocal flexibility […] Lys successfully accents and colors the words to promote the text, as well as highlighting her torment through a versatile coloratura display, accompanied by the evocative urgency of Vivaldi’s music. A little gem appears towards the end of the disc: the aria, “Vado a morir per te” by S.A.Fiorè from his 1722 version of the opera again shows off the beauty of Lys’ voice, in which her delicate phrasing and gentle embellishments simultaneously capture her love for Argippo and the pain she feels at his forthcoming death.”
