In 1750, Naples was the eighth-largest city in the world, but its music of the Baroque and early Classical periods remains much less well-known than that of Rome, Venice, or Milan. Pergolesi is a familiar figure, of course, and Alessandro Scarlatti, but many of the composers here -- Emanuele Barbella, Andrea Falconieri, Leonardo Leo, and many more -- will be known mostly to specialists, if even to them. Ophélie Gaillard has managed to put together a double album of Neapolitan works for the cello, a comparatively new instrument at the time. One draw here is her violoncello piccolo, a small, bright, agile five-string cello often used during the Italian Baroque. Best of all, though, is that Gaillard succeeds in living up to the exclamation point in her Napoli! title. She deploys a variety of pieces that capture Naples' musical distinctiveness and imagination. It is not just the tuneful opera arias, although there are several of those, featuring an unusually strong trio of singers in soprano Sandrine Piau, mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, and countertenor Luan Góes, as well as cello sonatas that borrow an operatic idiom. There is also a wealth of instrumental music, some of it arranged for the cello. Sample the delightful Sonata intitolata Arlecchino, Arlecchinessa, Rosetta, e Pulcinello, where the cello takes on the personalities of figures from the commedia dell'arte. Several pieces here are world premieres, and there isn't a dull one in the whole large bunch. About the only complaint here is Aparte's unidiomatic and boomy church sound, but there is enough interesting music here to make that complaint a minor one.
