It is important to bring all the still unknown works back to life through performance and recording. It comes without saying that this CD, entirely dedicated to Fedele Fenaroli, represents both a just acknowledgement of one of the greatest figures in the Neapolitan school, as well as an attempt to rescue such a deeply interesting repertoire from oblivion. Listening to the Stabat Mater – a piece quoted by every historiographer of Fenaroli makes us realize how diminishing it is to speak of Fenaroli only in terms of his didactic production. The perfection of the pieces and the religious inspiration emanating from them merge with the composition technique of the Italian tradition, that had created such beautiful patterns and, above all, unparalleled melodies. Fenaroli is doubtless one of the best representatives of this tradition. Morevoer, listening to the pieces included in this CD confirms his value and urge us to learn more about this composer, who has been neglected for so long, but who has left us a cultural legacy we want to reassess fairly.
