About

Ophélie Gaillard takes you on a tour of baroque Naples. Continuing her exploration of the cello repertoire, her recording, 'Napoli!', immerses itself in the Mediterranean city, meeting its emblematic figures.

We meet the virtuosos Fiorenza, Lanzetti and Francischello, the composers Durante and Leo, the Spanish Ortiz and the Madrid-born Corselli, and even, in the course of a sonata or a dance, Scaramouche, Harlequin and their comrades from the commedia dell'arte.

The Neapolitan soul is revealed in all this richness: hybrid, sensual, contrasting, both theatrical and profoundly authentic. Alongside the Pulcinella Orchestra as well as Sandrine Piau, Marina Viotti and Luan Góes, Ophélie Gaillard's cello draws on its many sources, from popular to lyrical, secular to sacred.

Unpublished works by Porpora, Bonno and Barbella confirm that Naples has not finished giving up its secrets. Join in the dance!
