LAVA is a collection of rediscovered opera gems from 18th century Naples, performed by soprano Simone Kermes and the period instrument ensemble Le Musiche Nove. Musical direction is by Claudio Osele, the Italian musicologist and conductor who worked with Cecilia Bartoli on four of her successful concept albums, including the Grammy-winning Vivaldi and Gluck releases for which he delivered the concept and prepared the performing editions. Naples and Versuvius provide the linking theme between all of the pieces, nine of which are world premiere recordings (all tracks except those by Pergolesi)

…a blazing reminder that sensitively attuned performances by musicians passionate about their chosen material can restore to blazing vitality a whole operatic era previously damned by history books as lifeless. Simone Kermes's… is…a fearless risk-taker of uncommon artistic range and technical prowess... all 12 of the disc's items are delightful.
5 out of 5 stars
Gramophone Magazine December 2009
In roller-coaster moment Le Musiche Nove throw caution to the wind, and Kermes sails through difficult coloratura passages with admirable gusto… Porpora's "Morte amara" shows exactly what Kermes is best at in beautiful slow music… her tender performance of Leo's "Manca sollecita" is gorgeous.

joyous and extravagant...a fabulous, thrilling disc.
