Giovanni Maria Rubinelli (1753 to 1829) belonged to the last generation of great castrati. On this recording, different phases from the life of the famous Italian castrato singer are highlighted; at the time he was proclaimed by the famous musicologist Charles Burney (1726 – 1814) as one of the great castrati of the late eighteenth century. Rubinelli was heard at the time on the stages of the most important opera houses in Italy, such as during the opening of the Teatro alla Scala in 1778. He also sang in London in operas by George Frideric Handel and was heard in Handel's Giulio Cesare. Around 1770 he made his debut in Sacchini's opera Calliroe. The arias that were written at the time for Rubinelli are performed here by countertenor Filippo Minecia. He is accompanied by the British ensemble Instante Collective under the direction of concert master Beatrice Scaldini.
