Haymarket Opera Company presents early-18th-century master Leonardo Vinci’s rare operatic gem, Artaserse (1730). A prominent figure of the Neapolitan School of opera, whose work influenced composers such as Johann Adolph Hasse and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Vinci’s three-act opera seria centers on the Persian prince, Artaserse, who must bring his father’s murderer to justice amidst betrayal, deceit, and mistaken identity.
Cedille Records augments its 2018 release, Notorious RBG in Song, critically proclaimed “an engrossing, episodic portrait” (WQXR) and “vivid and beautiful” (Classics Today) — with a digital single, “On the Joys of Recorded Music,” in anticipation of what would have been Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 93rd birthday (March 15).
To celebrate our new opera album Leonardo Vinci: Artaserse (Haymarket Opera Company) we’ve revised/expanded our RBG 90th birthday playlist of her favorite vocal music on Cedille — now starting with albums supported by the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fund for Vocal Recordings, created in 2022.
