Our Take

Italian soprano Silvia Frigato and Ensemble Castor take us on a swoon-worthy journey into the world of Agostino Steffani with their latest album, "A Life For The Opera." Steffani, a Baroque composer and diplomat, may not be a household name, but with Frigato's enchanting vocals and Ensemble Castor's expert musicianship, he's about to become your newest obsession.

From the opening track, "Oh, beloved shadows of night," Frigato's voice transcends time and space, echoing through centuries with a clarity and emotion that will have you hitting repeat before you even realize it. Ensemble Castor's lively instrumentation provides the perfect backdrop, like a lush tapestry woven from the finest musical threads.

Tracks like "Dreams of an absolute ruler" and "In tears of pain" showcase Frigato's impressive range and expression, while Ensemble Castor shines in the intricate interplay between strings, harpsichord, and winds. It's like stepping into a grand opera house in 17th-century Venice, with all the drama, passion, and intrigue that entails.

Overall, "A Life For The Opera" is a delightful romp through the world of Agostino Steffani, brought to vivid life by the talented Silvia Frigato and Ensemble Castor. So grab your powdered wig and lace gloves, dear reader, and prepare to be swept off your feet by this Baroque masterpiece.
