The baroque woman was confined to a strictly domestic role. She was either saintly (mother of Christ and the subject of religious allegory as in Handel’s Trionfo del tempo e del disinganno), a diva, a queen (Poppea, Cleopatra) or the inevitable victim in classical tragedies like Semiramis, Berenice, Rodelinda and Agrippina. 'Ladies sing Baroque' is shaped as a nod to those ladies who have enchanted jazz, but composed of music from two centuries earlier: hymns to emotion, the tunes that disturb for eternity! Monteverdi's invention of opera, Vivaldi's music for the Pieta, Pergolesi and Bach bring the drama and emotion found in temples and churches. Highlights include the final duet from 'L'Incorronazione di Poppea' and Bach's sublime 'Erbarme dich' whilst two Canadians with strong characters, Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Karina Gauvin, successfully evoke the legendary association of Marilyn Horne and Montserrat Caballé. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Star soprano Simone Kermes has been hailed by Opera News as "The Queen of Baroque.” This CD presents her singing arias by Handel composed for his star soprano Francesca Cuzzoni. The release features two world premiere recordings of the alternate ‘Rodelinda’ arias. "Kermes's performances give nothing but pleasure." Gramophone “Her dizzying bravura in this selection of arias is breathtaking; she’s not afraid to take risks or sacrifice beautiful sound to create dramatic colour and interest when needed. Her limpid, expressive high notes are cushioned by the splendid Lautten Compagney.” Classic FM Magazine, July 2009 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
