Melancholia is Italian bass Andrea Mastroni's most recent recording project. Mastroni is a true custodian of this type of singing, and this release represents a journey of discovery of the work of Handel that was written especially for Antonio Montagnana, one of the most exceptional singers in England during the period the German composer was working there. Desperation, anger, incantations, warrior instincts and human passion are some of the diverse elements captured in these pieces. A worthy companion for this vocal marathon is the Accademia dell'Annunciata, a baroque orchestra of great quality, conducted by Riccardo Doni. Italian bass Andrea Mastroni began his musical education as a clarinettist before moving to vocal studies where he graduated from the Istituto Claudio Monteverdi in Cremona. His repetoire includes Sparafucile Rigoletto, Simone Gianni Schicchi, Timur Turandot, Colline La Bohème, Figaro/Bartolo Le Nozze di Figaro, Raimondo Lucia di Lammermoor, Ferrando Il trovatore, title role Don Pasquale and Don Basilio Il barbiere di Siviglia.
