Antonio FlorioAbout
Great devotion was directed at San Gennaro, in the belief that he would ward off further evils: a richly-adorned chapel in Naples’ cathedral was dedicated to him and provided with its own musical ensemble, and a stream of composers (often pupils of the great Francesco Provenzale) such as Cristofaro Caresana, Nicola Fago and Gaetano Veneziano worked there.
Central to the programme of I Turchini, are performances of Fago’s four-part Stabat Mater and Caresana’s canzona 'Sirene festose'. There is a rare outing also for a motet, 'Antra valles Divo plaudant', written by the young Domenico Scarlatti (three of whose string sinfonias are also included here) when he was one of the organists in the Real Cappella - musicians in Naples regularly moved in and out of different ensembles, then as now.
A booklet essay by Fabris himself splendidly underpins the popular traditions and musical and religious colour surrounding San Gennaro in a Naples still alive today; moreover, an evocation brought to potent life by the performances of Florio, with his singers and instrumentalists of I Turchini.
