E-MOTION presents a selection of arias from eighteenth-century opera seria by composers including Duni, Gatti, Guglielmi, Hasse, Jommelli and Vinci, all set to librettos by Pietro Metastasio. Conceived as an exploration of musical affects, the programme reveals the aria as the privileged space in which operatic characters give voice to their most intense emotions.

Featuring several arias in their first modern recordings, this album offers a rare opportunity to rediscover little-known works from the Baroque operatic repertoire. Soprano Lucía Caihuela is joined by the period-instrument orchestra La Madrileña under the direction of José Antonio Montaño, bringing this refined ‘box of emotions’ vividly to life through historically informed performance.
