| Leonardo Vinci. Partenope (Rosmira
fedele). (Venice 1725). Dynamic CDS 686 (2 CDs, June 2012;
also to be released on DVD, apparently in an
historically-inspired staging).
Details (pdf) /
Italian/English libretto (pdf). Antonio Florio, I Turchini. Partenope: Sonia
Prina, contralto; Arsace: Maria Ercolano, soprano;
Rosmira: Maria Grazia Schiavo, soprano; Emilio: Eufemia
Tufamo, mezzo-soprano; Armindo: Stefano Ferrari, tenor;
Ormonte: Charles Dos Santos, baritone; Beltramme: Quiza
Borja, baritone; Eurilla: Giuseppe de Vittorio, tenor.
Videos include a "making of" documentary for Spanish
TV. Both Brian Robins (in Early Music Review)
and
Maurizio Frigeni compare
the Dynamic recording unfavorably with the available
2004 radio broadcast from Beaune, an outstanding performance and recording.
Most sources, including
Opera Today, incorrectly assert that Roberta
Invernizzi sang Arsace at Beaune. As on the recording,
Arsace was sung by
Maria Ercolano.

 Kurt
Sven Markstrom. The Operas of Leonardo Vinci, Napolitano.
Pendragon Press 2007.
Details. Opera Series No. 2. 394 pages. This is an
exceptional and fascinating book that combines a biography of
Vinci with detailed analysis of his operas and an overview of
rapid changes in Italian opera in the 1720s. It is illustrated
with contemporaneous caricatures of singers and composers,
including a Ghezzi sketch of Vinci (apparently) towering over a
diminutive Faustina Bordoni (p. 100). (Vinci had a reputation
not unlike Stradella's and like Stradella may have been
murdered.) The numerous musical examples include Handel
borrowings such as the theme of "O God-like Youth" in Saul
(p. 150) and arias in Vinci's Farnace (Rome 1724)
influenced by Vivaldi including an aria for saltiero (p. 72), an
instrument for which Vivaldi also composed an aria during the
same season (Giustino, Rome 1724).
