	Andreas Scholl CD Arias for Senesino
		Il Senesino ("the little Sienese", although he grew to imposing stature in his prime) was the stage name of the alto castrato Francesco Bernardi.
		Senesino, born Francesco Bernardi in Siena, was skilled apparently at legato phrasings and downplayed heavy ornamentation.
		Andreas Scholl's Arias for Senesino is a tribute to the castrato, Senesino, for whom Handel wrote the title role of Giulio Cesare.

	Ionarts: Andreas Scholl Conjures Senesino
		Senesino was a celebrated alto castrato from Siena, and after singing for many years across Italy and Germany, Handel negotiated a contract for him to sing for the Royal Academy of Music in London, beginning with that company's second season in 1720.
		His voice is well suited to the pieces composed for Senesino, whose range was rather narrow (up to D or E on the treble staff) and who, although capable of virtuosic melismatic passages, was reportedly strongest in long and sustained lines.
		In 1720, Dresden dismissed Senesino for one of the many tirades associated with this difficult singer: he refused to sing an aria assigned to him and tore up a score.

	Andreas Scholl - Arias for Senesino :: Stores Dir UK (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Arias from various stages of Senesino's career are represented here, though there is a major bias to the Handelian operas of the mid-1720s period - Rodelinda and Giulio Cesare.
		Similarly, his mature interpretation of the scenes from Rodelinda and Giulio Cesare shows his experience of both roles in the theatre, and while the voice perhaps has lost a bit of that 'purity' in the highest notes, his attention to the text is absorbing.
		Senesino's tessitura and Scholl's are the same, as far as we know, and all these pieces are tailor-made to show off both singers' talents.

	Classical Net Review - Arias for Senesino
		Senesino (whose real name was Carlo Broschi) is most famous for having premiered several of Handel's choicest operatic roles, including Bertarido in Rodelinda, and the title role in Giulio Cesare in Egitto.
		This was in London, and audiences of the time were as interested in Senesino – both on and off the stage – as today's audiences are interested in Renée Fleming and Andrea Bocelli.
		Senesino is supposed to have been a good actor.

	[No title]
		Senesino is certainly best remembered as Handel’s star castrato during the 1720s and, after a short break during which Handel attempted to continue without him, the early 1730s.
		Senesino’s fame as a dramatic singer with a particular talent for accompanied recitatives probably explains the selections of ‘Pompe vane di morte!
		Lotti’s ‘Discordi pensieri’ is probably an aria that Handel heard Senesino performing when he visited Dresden in 1719, and its sweetly lyrical mood makes it easy to appreciate why Handel might have been impressed to engage Senesino for London at the earliest opportunity (the leader of Accademia Bizantina contributes a sweet violin solo).

	Senesino \| a bit of bonhomie
		The renowned countertenor James Bowman and the London Handel Players led by Laurence Cummings, travelled to the villa that Senesino built and gave a wonderful concert, organised by the Friends of Musical Events in Tuscany.
		Senesino was born Santi Francesco Bernardi in October 31st 1686 in Siena, the son of a barber.
		I am so happy to find this information about Senesino, particularly the fact that his family still lives in Tuscany and apparently knows quite a bit about him that was never published in the few history books of the early eighteenth century.

	Senesino
		Senesino dopo essersi inizialmente esibito a Roma fu poi a Venezia nel 1703 al Teatro Grimani di S. Giovanni Grisostomo nel VINCESLAO di Carlo Francesco Pollaroli, su libretto di Apostolo Zeno.
		Qui inizia l'amicizia fra Senesino e Rolli: non esiterà il Rolli a gettare carbone sul fuoco nel momento immediatamente successivo alla rottura eclatante fra Handel e Senesino: a questo proposito ci sono lettere fra il Rolli e Senesino che testimoniano questa "alleanza".
		Dopodiché Senesino, nel Giugno del 1733, ruppe definitivamente con Handel, a causa di quei dissapori di vecchia data dovuti un po' ai rispettivi caratteri forti dei due artisti e un po' all'ambiente in cui si trovavano ad operare e a vivere quotidianamente.

	‘Senesino: Farinelli’s Greatest Rival, Handel’s Muse’: Andreas Scholl, Accademia ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Obviously, a small orchestra such as the Accademia Bizantina would be used in an operatic performance, but it would be in the pit, not closely surrounding the singer, and for a recital, a ‘cello, keyboard and lute would provide the ideal partners.
		According to Charles Burney, Senesino delivered Bertarido’s music ‘with uncommon energy and passion,’ both qualities strongly in evidence here, and Scholl’s phrasing, pacing and shaping of the recitative was masterly, the highly dramatic outbursts of ‘Pace al cener mio?’ delivered with a sense of barely suppressed rage.
		Indeed, I had a problem with the orchestra throughout, but one which I have to say was clearly not shared by the rest of the audience.

		Francesco Bernardino, geboren um 1690 in Siena, und weithin bekannt unter seinem Künstlernamen Senesino, war - neben Farinelli - einer der berühmtesten Kastraten seiner Zeit.
		Georg Friedrich Händel konnte Senesino an seine Opernakademie nach London holen, wo dieser seine größten Erfolge in Giulio Cesare und Riccardo Primo feierte.
		Mit der Gründung des Balthasar-Neumann-Chores (1991) und des Balthasar-Neumann-Ensembles (1995) hat Thomas Hengelbrock herausragende Gesangssolisten und Interpreten um sich formiert, die sich mit der Entdeckung in Vergessenheit geratener Werke und mit Neuinterpretationen bekannten Repertoires einen Namen gemacht haben.
