Renée Fleming, Natalie Dessay, Juanita Lascarro, Susan Graham, Kathleen Kuhlmann, Timothy Robinson & Laurent Naouri William Christie ‘Alcina is among the finest of Handels operas. The fine Erato set was recorded live at the Paris Opera.
Christie too is masterly at avoiding any monotony in the long sequence of da capo arias, with the recitative superbly timed and reprises beautifully decorated. It is striking that the star singers here are not just brilliant in tackling elaborate passage-work and ornamentation, but are stylishly scrupulous in avoiding unwanted aspirates. Renée Fleming is in glorious voice as Alcina… Natalie dessay as Alcina’s sister, Morgana, relishes the
challenge…’ Penguin Guide 3 stars, 2008 edition |
