Artiste: Australian Brandenburg Orchestra

The sopranista voice type is rare although not unknown, but there are very few who are an unmitigated joy to listen to: Samuel Mariño is one of those rarities. 

Japanese soprano Yukie Sato joins the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra for a concert of Handel arias and orchestral works by Vivaldi and Pisandel, with a significant contribution from concertmaster Shawn Lee-Chen. 

Acrobats flying to the music of Vivaldi and his contemporaries makes for a surprising but highly entertaining combination in this energetic pastiche.
