Synopsis

Product Description
Born in Milan in 1686, Andrea Stefano Fiorè, though somehow forgotten, has to be considered as a true enfant prodige concerning
Italian music. While studying, among others, he was under the guidance of Arcangelo Corelli in Rome and he achieved great
admiration and gained high esteem from some of his well-known contemporary artists, as J. J. Quantz (famous German flautist and
composer), as well as Benedetto Marcello (Italian composer of great fame) who was mentioning about the composer's 'admirable
knowledge' and 'huge talent'.
Fiorè had great influence especially at the Savoia Court (in fact the 'Symphonies' which have been written by the composer at the
early age of 13 years and stated as 'resulting from a genious, rather than from a high-knowledged artist' have all been dedicated to
sovereign Vittorio Amadeo II, Duke of Savoia and Prince of Piemont).
As it was the case at that time, Fiorè has been composing, besides a corpus of sacred music dedicated to the Sabaudian Royal Chapel,
also a great number of vocal Arias, among which we shall remember the opera 'Engelberta' which has been performed at the Royal
Ducal Theatre in Milan in 1708. Some of the most beautiful and expressive Arias of this Opera are to be found in this nice Concerto
recording as a worldpremiere and performed by Angelo Manzotti with great passion and superb voice.
