Farinelli’s Violin

Farinelli’s Violin

Later this month violinist Jorge Jiménez and his ensemble Tercia Realidad are releasing their disc, Farinelli’s Violin on Pan Classics. 

The disc features arias writtens for the castrato Farinelli in new versions where it is Jimenez’ violin that astonishes. To give you a taster of the delights to expect, here is a video of Jorge Jiménez and Tercia Realidad performing live at the Festival de Musica Antigua de Ubeda y Baeza. They are performing Jiménez’ arrangement of the aria ‘Nell’ Attendere Mio Bene’ from the opera Polifemo by Nicola Popora, who also happened to be Farinelli’s teacher.

The disc presents arias from Hasse’s Artaserse, Broschi’s Idaspe, Handel’s Rinaldo, and Porpora’s Polifemo.

Further details from Jimenez’ website.
