Description:

The beauty of music rich in flesh and blood in a pure and beautiful voice. Both Roset and Alarcon are a perfect match for Handel! In London, one of the largest cities in Europe, Handel has created a vibrant operatic world with singers from the forefront of Italian opera. The musical sense and sensitivity to the latest trends that he developed as a young man in Rome and Venice blossomed not only in secular vocal music such as operas and chamber cantatas, but also in church music. Soprano Julie Roset, who has been attracting attention in the front-line European classical music scene and gave a masterful performance of A. Scarlatti's cantatas on RICERCAR (RIC396/domestic release NYCX-10027), has released a collection of Handel's works with the talented Alarcon, which includes Handel's often buried solo works for church. This is a remarkable program of Handel motets and arias from his early oratorios. A singer of pure beauty with a voice that could be described as "an antiquarian singer! Her voice is pure beauty, and she sings everything from plaintive cantilenas to floridly technical passages, making her the perfect choice to introduce these works.Alarcon is known not only for his passionate performances of Mediterranean Baroque music but also for his exquisite interpretations of Bach, and here he makes the most of the unity and mobility of his small ensemble of ancient instruments to bring out the best in each piece. The tracks with harp and organ solos are also exquisite. This is another Handel album that should not be overlooked, and one that can be enjoyed to the last detail. Naxos Japan
