Porpora: Quel vasto, quel fiero (Polifemo)

‘Cencic’s theatrical talent for gutsier declamatory coloratura takes centre stage.’ (Gramophone)
Amazon: po.st/AzeK2M iTunes: po.st/zEsxoX
Following the success of 2013’s solo album ROKOKO, Arie Napoletane is a brand new solo album for Decca’s prolific countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic. Focusing on the musically rich city of Naples during the Baroque period, this album, typical of Cencic’s highly-regarded musical curiosity, contains a majority of world premiere recordings - TEN works in total.
A feast of baroque discoveries, riding the wave of enthusiasm for the countertenor voice, this album is a first-rate showcase for the talents of Max Emanuel Cencic, fast becoming one of the most recorded countertenors of our time - a must-buy for countertenor and baroque discovery fans alike.

[@stevendaniel8126]

His chest tones and lower register are, by far, the most beautiful and pleasing of any countertenor singing today.

[@ritahorvath8207]

Andreas Scholl was the best ( he is too old now ) Simply impossible to top him .

[@megenberg8]

and consistently so. healing and relaxing.

[@chipbarfield62]

His voice is the contralto of countertenor voices..

[@chipbarfield62]

​​@ritahorvath8207 I have recently discovered Andreas Scholl and he is magnificent. Even at his age.

[@djperry211]

Love this every time I watch it. Max is superb and even greater live. I have been privileged or see him.

Nicola Porpora (neeKOla PORpora, for English speakers) 1686 -1768. Great Neapolitan opera composer, contemporary of Vivaldi and especially of Bach and Handel.

[@barymoto]

I HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD A SINGLE WORD!!!!!!!!VERY BAD SINGER!

[@johnmelz9898]

Really? .... "very bad singer"??? ..... Let's hear YOU sing this - and see how much WE can understand! ..... VERY BAD CRITIC!!!!!!

[@Jaya-ce8qb]

Is that a joke?😁😁😁😁 Max is a great singer!🧡❤💞💛💜💝

[@carlogambacurta548]

Single word. Its language not music!

[@johnmelz9898]

Max Cencic is the "consumate" artist; his vocal control is astounding, his shading and coloring bring Porpora's music to life - or rather - "resurect" his extraordinary writing - and give it a "new life"! I could listen to Max all day ... and still want more ...

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

Max Cencic est un peu le boss des contre-ténors...Travailleur infatigable, il porte tout sur son dos...Maison de disque, manager d'opéras, grand découvreur de talents, que ce soit de chanteurs ou d'orchestres qu'il a propulsé au devant de la scène, débroussailleur de partitions enfouies, costumier, ami des arts, grand voyageur, et grand chanteur par dessus tout. Sa voix? Tantot douce et délicieusement surannée tantot rageusement efficace passe avec bonheur de l'enfance et la féminité à la masculinité la plus tonitruante. Il a la force, la volonté, le caractère, et le bon gout pour lui (meme s'il faut en passer par le mauvais gout kitch par moments). Il a le culte de l'amitié et se révèle particulièrement fidèle à certain petit festival niché dans la plèbe la plus reculée. Peu importe, il est comme ça. De comtesse emperlée à légionnaire romain, dieu grec ou midinette exagérée il arpente les scènes du monde entier en répandant derrière lui des flots de musique baroque...Un ogre musical, un festin qui enivre, un parfum de bacchanale accouplée à la précision d'une légion...Un grand monsieur

[@monikakramer4823]

Eine wunderbare Aufnahme, die man sich immer wieder anhören und anschauen kann. Dank der Technik!

[@williamstephens9945]

Porpora's music is funky as hell!

[@cliffgaither]

William Stephens :: Yeah !! Porpora must have had it "in" for the singer who originated the role. 😎

[@samueljaramillo4221]

I take it you like it?👍🏻

[@Hack-qr9re]

Wtf what does that funny

[@zimnaya]

[@mikeggg5671]

Well that is incredibly impressive. Until I looked at my phone as this was playing, I honestly expected to see a large, big breasted soprano or Alto singing this. I have absolutely no idea it was a man! That is incredible talent, certainly.

[@misssarahashplant31]

Thank you God for giving us Max Cencic. 😘

[@Lullylover]

So wundervoll, welch Talent, welcher Ausdruck, welche Kraft! Ich hoffe so sehr, ihn in Bayreuth im Markgräflichen Theater zu erleben, Faglioli et al. wollten ja auch kommen....hoffentlich ist das bis September 2020 möglich...warum, weiß jeder. Bitte bitte dann aber auf jeden Fall sobald möglich! Liebe Grüße aus Coburg.

[@thilovonwatzdorf8112]

Love passionately to hear sing But my I bet in the future on Jan Jerlinska Whois starting to develope his countertenor potential, and he has great potential. He is right now 19 years old . I hope that you will come across you. He has so much to learn from you, your talent , your technique and your enormous knowledge in early singing. You are fantastic and you must pass it on to the new talented singers. ( used to be the star Alto solo singer in the Choir Capella vocalis in Wuerttenberg. You are a Maestro nec plus ultra in your field- Good night and thank yo ,
