| |  | “Handel at Home” – Arias arranged for flute, strings & harpsichord
London Handel Players, Laurence Cummings “Don’t let the cosy title of this release, with its tiny line-up of executants; fool you into thinking this disc is
going to provide only urbane drawing-room delights. The delights are there in plenty, but so are plenty of
surprises. It is also a valuable historical document for those fascinated by performance practice in the
early decades of the 18th century…Handel at Home begins with a lovely little Flute Concerto in G
minor…SOMM’s presentation and packaging are up to their usual fine standards, and the close but gentle
recording quality suits the music perfectly.” Christopher Morley (The Birmingham Post) | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

| |  | Handel Edition Volume 1
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 |
