At a time when castrati reigned on Europe's stages, a few composers dared to write for female voices. Vivaldi, Porpora, and Porta explored the subtleties of this repertoire to create some of the finest sacred music scores of their era. Marina Viotti revives this forgotten heritage, placing the power of her voice at the service of the rich and moving melodies gathered here. Accompanied by Andres Gabetta and the Orchestre de l'Opera Royal, between theatricality and sacredness, Marina Viotti accomplishes the feat of bringing back to life the golden age of 18th-century sacred music, while paying tribute to all the women who, through their art, embodied the soul of the masters.

Marina Samson Primachenko writes about the music on this InchThe idea to include in one programme music woven together by inner poetic links came to me earlier when I was preparing a solo recital which was to include piano music by Boris Pasternak. Pasternak's music had been on my mind for a long time by simply just existing - music by a poet, writer, Nobel Prize laureate, friend of Heinrich Neuhaus. Yevgeniy Pasternak (the son of Boris Pasternak) at the time expressed his wish that the album should include the music of his father in company with the works of Skryabin, emphasizing that Boris Pasternak appreciated and loved his early works up to Sonata No. 5. All these wishes have been fulfilled in the drawing up of the repertoire on this .Inch
