Countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic Reveals a Forgotten Jewel of the Baroque: Vinci's Catone in Utica

Star countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic steps into new musical territory with the world premiere recording of Catone in Utica by Leonardo Vinci, a forgotten genius of Italian opera. Born in 1696, for generations Vinci has been just another obscure Baroque composer. But Cencic's pioneering music production company Parnassus Arts put him firmly on the musical map with successful performances of Artaserse. Now Cencic unveils Vinci's Catone in Utica, a powerful tale of Julius Caesar's defeat of the Republican forces led by Marcus Porcius Cato in 46BC, exploring the eternal themes of love, duty and honor. The latest fruit of a groundbreaking agreement between Decca, Cencic and Parnassus Arts, the recording gives many opera fans their first opportunity to hear this work.

    KCRW: Los Angeles, Rhythm Planet eclectic playlist this week features a crop of new releases Croatian countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic follows with an Italian baroque aria sung with his typical bravado and poise.

    Since there were no program notes or translations for any of the obscure baroque arias sung in Italian by the countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic on Friday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, discerning how he conveyed a particular mood or shaded a certain word with meaning became secondary to simply enjoying the sound of his gorgeous voice. Accompanied by the fresh-faced and dynamic period instrument ens...
