Editor's info:
Countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic stars as the titular Roman general Germanicus in this world premiere recording of the rediscovered masterpiece from Baroque composer Nicola Porpora, Germanico in Germania. Performed from a new edition of the score on period instruments, Germanico in Germania features a stellar supporting cast, including soprano Julia Lezhneva and Capella Cracoviensis, under the baton of Jan Tomasz Adamus.

...the singers are excellently contrasted, with Cencic’s lower vocal gravity and smooth delivery contrasting with Nesi’s more spitfire personality, though she makes the utmost of her Act II aria, the calm amidst her storm. Julia Lehzneva wins in the coloratura madness stakes, piping through more notes than imaginable surely even in Beverly Sills’ most fevered dreams. Her five arias perhaps contain more notes than some complete operas – though her strange trill, akin a backfiring Vespa, won’t be for everyone. Dilyara Idrisova and Hasnaa Bennani share slightly calmer soprano honours, and Juan Sancho adds his own tenor thrills to the mix. Act II contains a particularly unusual and ebullient trio for Cencic, Nesi and Idrisova. Tomasz Adamus keeps everything grounded, despite indulging his cast, and there’s a pleasing snap to the music, not over-exaggerated.
