The publication of this album puts into greater light an unjustly forgotten composer, an eclectic and full rounded musician who contributed in many ways to the development of French music in the 20th century. José David was born on January 6th 1913 in the Sables-d’Olonne, and died in Juan-les-Pins in 1993. A prolific composer, deeply attached to his home country and open to the music of his time, his natural idiom was nonetheless largely inherited from the musical languages of the Romantics and of the composers of the Belle Epoque.

During his lifetime, Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816) was in fact more famous than Mozart, and his operas were veritable hits. Nowadays, it is in the hands of experts such as Florence native Filippo Mineccia to restore his unjustly neglected compositional output. With his fine countertenor voice, Mineccia presents a collection of outstanding opera arias in a recording which for sure will quickly deserve a prominent place in the shelves (or hard drives) of the many Italian Baroque opera lovers. Mineccia has found in the Lisbon-based ensemble Divino Sospiro under the direction of Massimo Mazzeo an exquisite support. Born in Florence, FIlippo Mineccia began his musical studies very early in the prestigious School of Music of Fiesole, singing in the polifonic choir.
