Scarlatti: Carlo Re d'Alemagna, Aure voi (Basso, Biondi, Stavanger Symphony)

'Contralto Romina Basso with her clearly defined and steady declamation makes an imposing Lotario.'
BBC Music Magazine

'Scarlatti gave two of the score’s most remarkable arias—‘Aure voi’ at the start of Act Two and ‘Riede quest’alma in calma’ in Act Three—to Lotario, and Ms. Basso sings both numbers sublimely. Any listener who approaches this recording of Carlo, Re d’Alemagna with any doubt about Ms. Basso’s place among the ranks of the world’s best mezzo-sopranos should rejoice in having those questions answered by her radiant, virtuosic singing in this performance. To the aria ‘Tiranno, sì, sarò’ in Act Three she brings blistering vitriol and biting irony, unleashing her imposing technique in a display of pyrotechnics that perfectly conveys Lotario’s pride and indignation.'
Voix des Arts

'L'alto vigoreux de Romina Basso fait merveille dans le rôle de l'intrigant Lotario.'
