[@tkcdeannajmj]

So beautiful! I could listen to this a million times.

[@tsanchezts]

Отличная и замечательная музыка Николы Порпоры и возвышенной Сони Прины.

[@kjell-akeapell3285]

A classic piece of music that one could listen to many times !

[@thebarroque]

Ahh Sonia! She's a very stunning singer, I allways love her performances, I had the oportunity to hear her in a live performance, and It was great! Thanks for this beautiful rendition of this unfairly neglected piece!

[@doddsalfa]

This music and performance is stunning.

[@UrsulkaChristine]

It's a pure plesure to listen.

[@tartinitrumpet]

Oh thank you for stunning my productivity with your sharing of such beauty! I love this very much.

[@isagiunone8012]

Grazie... in idea eccellente !!

[@beginner57]

I had the chance of being working as a chorist while she performed one of the main character of a baroque opera. We were all astonished for her voice.

[@eloisepandora1656]

adoro ascoltare e leggere gli spartiti contemporaneamente! é bello e utile! grazie per aver inserito questo video!

[@homousios]

beautful thank you

[@kozuyasho]

Quelle voix veloutee. Un plaisir divin a ecouter.

[@mradaChris]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@aleiv]

Grande Sonia Prina :)

[@civileso]

Because it was performed on a lower pitch (A=415 Hz) with period instruments instead of modern pitch (A=440). Meaning that the instruments are tuned to a relatively lower frequence. So when they play E, for example, it sounds like modern day E flat. For further reading, you can check out the article in wikipedia on the topic.

[@caravastandurbin]

Lo pongo y lo vuelvo a poner....sublime versión de la Prina.

[@BIRILLO2008]

complimenti per il magnifico lavoro, io purtroppo non conosco la musica, ma amo moltissimo la musica antica, ho ammirato la precisione con cui hai elaborato lo spartito, grazie

[@philomelodia]

E vero. Io adoro la musica di Porpora.

[@planetnuvo]

I so love this music

[@philomelodia]

Yes, he should. You know, he was Beethoven's musical grandfather of sorts. He taught Haydn and Haydn taught Beethoven. His instrumental works are very beautiful too. This vocal piece was magnificently performed. Pity Nascimento never got around to singing this piece. He was a full-voiced male alto not a falsettist like all the ocuntertenors singing nowadays. His voice never broke.

[@casavialedellarepubblica3120]

che splendore

[@leodepuydt308]

Porpora. More proof that the Neapolitan early settecento tradition of music deserves to be declared UNESCO World Heritage. There has never been anything quite like it in the history of Western music. Pergolesi, Leonardo Leo, Leonardo Vinci, Jommelli, Piccinni, Spontini, Traetta, I could name one hundred names, two hundred, three hundred. Leo Depuydt (Brown University, and sometime Yale and Harvard Universities)

[@pedrosantos3743]

Neapolitan School: the pinnacle of western music.

[@leodepuydt308]

@@pedrosantos3743 Exactly. The great Romain Roland, Nobel Prize Winner and first professor of composition at the Sorbonne, thought that Porpora was better than Handel. The Pergolesi Manifesto makes three demands: 1) Recognition that music is Italy's gift to the Western world. 2) Recognition that the Neapolitan School is "the pinnacle of western music," as you state. There will be a lot of resistance from musical Pangermania. And 3), as Everyone accepted until the early nineteenth century, that Pergolesi was the most musically sensitive soul of the Neapolitan school and of the eighteenth century, and I believe the greatest composer of all time. There is an enormous amount of historical documentation that has been discarded. You need to read Latin, Italian, German, some Spanish, and so on. Mozart called all Italian composers "charlatans." Do you have one of those sharp Stanley knives. Let's just slice them off. That should cool the little arrogant prick down a little Leo Depuydt PS Please stay with us, the cause is just and there are few of us. But do not worry. We will this.

[@melqisedeq]

Wonderful

[@TheSpidersDive]

I didn't know this work, and I love it, specially the Salve. Maybe her technique is not "baroque", but she does it pretty well, and I love the velvet sound of her voice.

[@marcopaganelli6059]

Her tecnique is not baroque?!!!!! OMG think 3 times before speaking like that

[@freiermensch6569]

Exzellent!

[@codonauta]

Porpora was the big enemy of Handel in London, in the time which Handel composed Operas.

[@philomelodia]

Thanks for bringing this piece to my attention once more. The trill really is magnificent. You'll probably find me many more times if you like baroque opera or belcanto opera. I'm not a big fan of much of the late 19th century stuff and onward. I can't abide the singing of the women. I wish I could because some of the libretti are quite something like Turandot, for instance, but the very loud piercing voices of the soprani are too much for me.

[@bovissima]

Hi I am very urgently looking for the score of this piece, how can I get that? Can anyone help me out please? Would be very greatful!

[@beatrizoleaga1483]

Estoy buscando la partitura de esta obra. ¿Alguien sabe dónde la puedo encontrar? O si el propietario de esta cuenta sería tan amable de enviármela. Muchas gracias!

[@ALEXISVASSILIEV]

Peut etre melisma est butiful, et Porpora est un génie, mais Sonia, on ne l'entend pas trop loin dans la salle! Bien que elle est une fille intéressante! Merci pour poster cette vidéo! AV

[@AliceFerriereMezzoSoprano]

thank you for sharing this! It is a beautiful rendition. I would like to sing this Salve Regina with my ensemble and I am looking for the partition. Do you know where I could find it?? Thank you !

[@johnswimcat]

Sorry Alice, I have no idea but just wanted to applaud your appreciation of this exquisite music. Did you get to perform it? I would love to know. It gives me goosebumps, hairs on the back of my neck, shivers down my spine and tears. Simply beautiful 😍

[@civileso]

No, I believe it was only rivalry on musical grounds.

[@jimbart76]

Beautiful. So superior to contemplate liturgical music.

[@girfalco]

Neapolitan power|

[@stiv2slava]

I love what you are doing but I don't understand why the performance is 1/2 step lower than the sheet music you are showing.

[@TheClocaris]

@civileso Hello! Congratulations for this so beautiful interpretation. Can you please tell me how can i find the score of this piece? Thanks a lot, Sincerely

[@user-fs1rq1dd5b]

Hey! Is there any way I could get this score from you or contact you? Thanks! :)

[@martarodriguez2893]

+‫לילי סולומונוב‬‎ Hello, did you get the score? :)

[@philomelodia]

I knew they were professional rivals as was the case with Porpora and Hasse but enemies? I didn't know there was anything personal in it.

[@TheAlexandergrand]

genial!!!! Good day, Is there a possibility of giving the score ?, greetings from Yucatan Mexico

[@jamessharp4075]

Alejandro Pereira the first and third movements are on free-scores.com

[@jamessharp4075]

Alejandro Pereira btw it's a piano reduction score

[@TheAlexandergrand]

thaaaaanks! :D I'm looking for the orchestral version, will you know where I can find it? thanks again!

[@williamstephens9945]

Try IMSLP?

[@3F93]

Something makes me think Porpora liked thrills very much.

[@Sandraud]

Where to find the sheet music? Thanks for the great upload!

[@musicatransalpina]

Where did you find this score? I’m trying to find parts.

[@redbrian3655]

Do we ever get tired of replying to this exact same question?

[@Geremia08]

@stiv2slava Wow, you have perfect pitch? I suppose 440 Hz is noticeably different than 415 Hz.

[@williamstephens9945]

415 is one semitone lower than 440.

[@MatteoValerioviolin]

wow! where can i find the sheet music?

Porpor

@aarandir how can you state that baroque music is rubbish in any sense???? is there anything wrong with your brain???

[@kaajos]

epoca barocca lo esigeva

[@yomandiabate364]

Popo

[@aarandir]

Baroque music in the major key tends to be so rubbish, very 'jumpy', fragmented and clumsily harmonised. Too many trills and embellishments. Singer is awesome though.
