Mark Padmore (tenor), Lucy Crowe (soprano), Robin Blaze (countertenor) & Katharina Spreckelsen (oboe obligato)

The English Concert, Andrew Manze

“Handel was one of the first Baroque composers to invest his talents in the tenor voice and here this unique English legacy is recalled. Through his shading, dynamic range and commitment to the text, Padmore seduces the listener.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008

“Tenors are fighter pilots - dashing, heroic, unhappy out of the limelight - and Padmore is an ace among them, soaring through this disc on a velvet voice in various Handelian guises. Semele falls for his smooth flattery in Where'er you walk', though he decelerates after the intro speed set by The English Consort under Andrew Manze. His blinded Samson is harrowingly persuasive in 'Total Eclipse', he shows off impressive no-breath acrobatics in Jephtha and dramatises outrageously in the Tameriano extract. The alto Robin Blaze and the soprano Lucy Crow are his top-notch, bit-part crew.” The Times

“Padmore reveals the composer's enormous affective range in singing that is variously passionate, tender and ardent. In this ravishing music Padmore is sympathetically partnered by Lucy Crowe with an intuitively responsive oboe obbligato by Katharina Spreckelsen. An outstanding recital.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 *****

“This is one of the most alluring recitals of its kind that has come my way for a very long time.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007
