The most famous Italian opera composer of his day, Domenico Cimarosa saw his fame spread all over Europe. Written towards the end of the 'Neapolitan School' era, his operas endured in popularity long after his death thanks to their melodic invention, colourful orchestration and sheer vitality. The overtures in this programme include I tre amanti (The Three Lovers), the hit opera that made Cimarosa's name outside Naples, Il pittor parigino (The Parisian Painter), and the tragedy Giunio Bruto that were admired by Haydn and conducted by him at the Esterházy court. The first three volumes are available on Naxos 8570508, 8570279 and 8572734.
"Goran Filipec is a new name to me but in this repertoire at any rate he is the real deal. With a technique that makes you forget just how exacting these pieces are to play, Filipec not only generates the thrill of a live performance but does so with a disarming swagger and playfulness. Indeed, he nearly convinced me that the Carnaval of Venice variations are not as bad as they really are" Gramophone June 2016
