Posted by Karabas91 at Dec. 18, 2024

Gli anni d'oro della dinastia Florio ripercorre le tappe salienti della vita dei personaggi illustri di una famiglia che ha dato lustro alla Sicilia, in particolare a Palermo, Marsala e Favignana. Originari di Bagnara Calabra, Paolo fu il primo Florio a stabilirsi a Palermo, dove avviò una fiorente bottega in via dei Materassai, nota per la vendita di spezie e chinino, e frequentata anche dalla regina Carolina di Borbone. Il leo bibens, emblema della famiglia Florio, divenne presto noto in tutto il mondo. La loro crescita economica straordinaria è testimoniata dalla flotta delle navi Florio, che solcarono anche gli oceani, dalla produzione vinicola di grande successo, dall'industria del tonno, dalla fonderia Oretea, dalla produzione di ceramiche con il marchio Florio, e molto altro ancora..

Cappella Neapolitana & Antonio Florio - Veneziano: Passio (2016) Music

Posted by SERTiL at March 4, 2017

For Glossa s new 'Passio' release Antonio Florio has discovered and prepared a performing edition of the 1685 St John Passion setting by the Neapolitan composer Gaetano Veneziano: a contemporary of Scarlatti, favoured pupil of Francesco Provenzale and maestro in the royal chapel. It features countertenor Raffaele Pe in the technically demanding role of the Evangelist. Until recently, Italian Passiontide settings from the Baroque era have amounted to only that by Alessandro Scarlatti, but this score by Veneziano has been found in the Archivio dell Oratorio dei Girolamini in Naples.

Rosa Feola, Cappella Neapolitana & Antonio Florio - Son regina e sono amante (2025) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at March 12, 2025

Soprano Rosa Feola, Cappella Neapolitana and maestro Antonio Florio pay tribute to Niccolò Piccinni, master of the 18th-century Neapolitan opera tradition, with Son regina e sono amante. Deliberately avoiding his most famous work, La buona figliola, the album offers arias from his French and Italian operas, including some in Neapolitan vernacular. Given her origins, Feola is the ideal ambassador to bring the once world famous Piccinni back into the limelight.

Pino De Vittorio, Antonio Florio, I Turchini - Il Canto della Sirena: Cantate napoletane dell’età barocca (2011) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at Oct. 22, 2021

During the early 1990s Antonio Florio (together with Dinko Fabris) was making substantial discoveries in the field of Baroque repertory from Naples for performance and recording, and now that Florio and I Turchini are making new recordings for Glossa (Caresana’s Tenebrae and L’Adoratione de’ Maggi), we are delighted to be bringing back into circulation some of those earlier ground-breaking recordings, signed by Roberto Meo and Sigrid Lee, focusing here – with Il Canto della Sirena – on Neapolitan chamber cantatas from the 17th and early 18th centuries.

Antonio Florio, I Turchini - Cristofaro Caresana: L’Adoratione de’ Maggi - Cantate Napoletane (2010) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at Jan. 25, 2025

For approaching a remarkable quarter of a century Antonio Florio and his colleagues at the Centro di Musica Antica Pietà de’ Turchini in Naples have been successfully breathing new life into the forgotten repertory of the Neapolitan Baroque. Now Florio has made an agreement with Glossa for the San Lorenzo de El Escorial-based label to issue the recordings of the ensemble of singers and instrumentalists, now renamed as simply I Turchini.

Posted by Karabas91 at May 8, 2019

Dal momento in cui sbarcano a Palermo da Bagnara Calabra, nel 1799, i Florio guardano avanti, irrequieti e ambiziosi, decisi ad arrivare più in alto di tutti. A essere i più ricchi, i più potenti. E ci riescono: in breve tempo, i fratelli Paolo e Ignazio rendono la loro bottega di spezie la migliore della città, poi avviano il commercio di zolfo, acquistano case e terreni dagli spiantati nobili palermitani, creano una loro compagnia di navigazione… E quando Vincenzo, figlio di Paolo, prende in mano Casa Florio, lo slancio continua, inarrestabile: nelle cantine Florio, un vino da poveri - il marsala - viene trasformato in un nettare degno della tavola di un re; a Favignana, un metodo rivoluzionario per conservare il tonno - sott'olio e in lattina - ne rilancia il consumo in tutta Europa…

Antonio Florio, I Turchini - Leonardo Vinci: La Partenope [La Rosmira fedele] (2012) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at Jan. 5, 2025

World premiere recording featuring a superb performance presented by Antonio Florio and a cast of true Baroque specialists. This opera waited almost three centuries before its rediscovery by Antonio Florio and the Turchini orchestra. Founded in 1987 by Antonio Florio, the ensemble I Turchini consists of instrumentalists and singers living and working in Naples who specialize in the performance of Neapolitan music from the 17th and 18th centuries and in the rediscovery of music by highly-gifted composers who are now largely unknown.

Antonio Florio, La Capella de'Turchini - Pergolesi: Stabat Mater & Salve Regina; Porpora: Salve Regina (2006) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at June 4, 2023

At the end of a brief but brilliant career - his compositions cover a period of just over six years - Giovanni Battista Pergolesi worte his last two works, the 'Stabat Mater' and the 'Salve Regina' in C minor. Nicola Porpora's 'Salve Regina' for solo voice and instruments, recorded here for the first time, was probably written during the composer's stay in Venice as 'maestro di cappella' of the Ospedale degli Incurabili, from 1726 to 1733, no doubt for one of the young ladies attending the musical establishment.
