About her

Sigiswald Kuijken, violinista, direttore de La Petite Bande

“Lucia Napoli has been working with me and La Petite Bande as soloist in Bach repertory since ca 2010-2011, and every time I have been very happy with her collaboration. She combines a very nice and natural musicality with an intelligent and refined insight and solid professional qualities – working with her is a pleasure for everybody involved.
As a result of my experience, I do not hesitate to recommend her warmly”.

Michael Radulescu, direttore, compositore, organista

“I have had the enormous joy and the opportunity to collaborate for several years intensely with Ms Lucia Napoli on the occasion of regular performances of J. S. Bach’s great cantatas, oratorios, motets and the monumental B-Minor Mass both in Italy (“Progetto Bach” in Vicenza and North Italy for almost ten years) and in Switzerland (at my International Bach-Academy in Porrentruy/CH founded 25 years ago). In all these most demanding projects Ms Napoli participated both as a soloist and – at the same time – as a member of the choir, according to the performing practice in Bach’s time.
Ms Lucia Napoli is an outstanding singer, always perfectly prepared, with a wonderful timbre in her voice and a marvelous stylistic and dramatic instinct in her extremely convincing and moving interpretations. The large range of her voice, her sense of drama and her perfect musicianship enable her to perform without any difficulty and most convincingly both alto and soprano parts. All these technical and musical qualities are doubled by Ms Napoli’s extremely serious preparation, by her deep love and respect for the music she performs and by her intelligence and “true musicianship”, always reminding of St. Augustine’s definition of music as a category for “those who love” (“musica amantis est”).
It is an honour and a joy to recommend Lucia Napoli for the most prestigious and highest musical projects and I wish her the success and appreciation she so highly deserves, both in Italy and abroad”.

Francesco Cera, clavicembalista, organista, direttore dell’ensemble Arte Musica

“Ho collaborato con Lucia Napoli numerose volte, trovando sempre il piacere di fare musica con lei al più alto livello di approfondimento interpretativo, oltre che di precisione e professionalità.
Lucia Napoli possiede una voce di grande bellezza e la sua personalità interpretativa è caratterizzata da una notevole eleganza, mai disgiunta da profondità e comunicativa. Le auguro il successo che merita”.

Giancarlo Breccola, Presidente dell’Associazione Nuovo CIC di Montefiascone

“Al di là della indiscussa preparazione tecnica e artistica, la verve, la capacità comunicativa, la simpatia e la passione con le quali Lucia Napoli conduce le sue guide all’ascolto, costituiscono gli apprezzati elementi che in varie occasioni hanno motivato le scelte del consiglio Direttivo dell’Associazione che presiedo. Scelte confortate dal lusinghiero giudizio di tutti coloro che, con evidente piacere e interesse, hanno assistito alle sue “preziose” conferenze”.
