**** Excellent Album

Philippe Ramin - Classica magazine (France) - June 2021

“… when it comes to singing per se Mariño is quite simply the most extravagantly talented male soprano I have yet heard… The orchestral support under Michael Hofstetter is capable … Mariño almost certainly brings us about as close as we’re likely to come today to the sound of the castrato voice. For that reason alone this is a disc that demands to be heard by anyone for whom Baroque opera has any significance.”

Brian Robins – Opera magazine – March 2021

“… Conductor Michael Hofstetter clearly has approached this music with both passion and understanding “scholarship” would be an appropriate word, if it didn’t also connote dullness. Hofstetter’s conducting is not dull! He and the orchestra complement Mariño admirably. The oboe soloist who dialogues with Mariño in “Quella fiamma” from Arminio is not identified, but he is wonderful too… This CD, and the singer that it introduces, made me sit up and take notice, and I hope that it will do the same for you. This is Want List material.”

Raymond Tuttle – Fanfare – November/December 2020

International Classical Music Awards 2021

“… an enjoyable and illuminating program which shows not only Mariño’s vocal artistry to its best advantage but highlights the abundant HIP credentials of the Handel Festival Orchestra Halle under Michael Hofstetter. First Handel, and four arias from Berenice, Regina di Egitto, all of which – including the exquisite Care selve – allow Mariño room for some astonishing feats of embellishment, not least in the vocal cadenzas. Sigismondo’s aria Quella fiamma from Arminio, which closes the Handel section, is a veritable tour-de-force for singer and obligato oboe… Two contrasting, major-key arias, from La Sofonisba and La Corona (both world premiere recordings), provide their own contrast to the spectacular minor-key finale, Oronte’s Care pupille from Il Tigrane. Here, as throughout, Mariño often eschews vocal colour as a means of expression, focussing more on variations in tempo, articulation and ornamentation. It’s a gamble that pays off every time.” ***½

Will Yeoman – limelightmagazine.com.au – 16 November 2020

"... this is an accomplished, often exciting debut from a singer who must count as something of a vocal phenomenon..."

Richard Wigmore - Gramophone magazine - August 2020

Pizzicato Supersonic

“…In the program Care Pupille Marino shows both, the brilliant virtuosity and power as well as – exemplary in Handel’s Care selve – an enchanting urgency of overwhelmingly beautiful cantilenas. The singer’s interpretative talent, his ability to portray a figure with all its emotional turmoil is ideally expressed in Berenice’s aria Berenice, che fai…Perché, se tanti siete from Gluck’s Antigono… Marino’s performance of the lament of the desperate Berenice is deeply moving. Michael Hofstetter and the Händelfestspielorchester Halle provide a richly coloured orchestral accompaniment for this extraordinary voice. This dedicated music-making and the fact that the production also includes three first recordings, including Gluck’s eponymous aria Care pupille, makes this CD by Orfeo all the more valuable.”

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 1 May 2020
