Christophe Rousset - Farinelli Il Castrato Bande Originale Du Film Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Review by Sianne L.
Christophe Rousset's original motion picture soundtrack for the film Farinelli Il Castrato is a stunning tribute to the life and work of the legendary castrato singer, Farinelli. The album features a collection of Baroque arias and instrumental pieces that perfectly capture the emotional depth and beauty of Farinelli's voice.
Rousset's exquisite performances on the harpsichord and the orchestra's skilled musicianship create a powerful and moving soundscape that transports the listener back to the 18th century. The album's highlight is undoubtedly the hauntingly beautiful "Lascia ch'io pianga" from Handel's Rinaldo, which showcases the sheer range and expressiveness of Farinelli's voice.
The album's pacing is well-considered, with moments of intense drama balanced by more introspective and meditative pieces. The use of period instruments and authentic performance practices further enhances the album's historical authenticity.

Porpora's "Alto Giove" is one of the most beautiful opera arias ever written! Here is also a recording from our performance with Predrag Djoković: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md64hn79iWM we hope you will like it!

Farinelli's singing voice was provided by Polish soprano Ewa Malas-Godlewska and American countertenor Derek Lee Ragin, who were recorded separately and then digitally merged to recreate the sound of a castrato.
