One of the very last recordings of baroque-pioneer conductor Alan Curtis
(1934-2015), a supreme Handelian conductor and scholar. Alan Curtis,
described by the New York Times’ as “one of the great scholar-musicians
of recent times”, conducts a brilliant cast including German soprano star Christiane Karg and the Italian mezzo soprano Romina Basso.
Christiane Karg is one of those fascinating voices of our time. She is
certainly one of today’s most interesting German singers with an
international profile. Many of her recordings such as “Scene!”,
“Heimliche Aufforderung” or “Portrait” (for Berlin Classics) have been
internationally acclaimed and were big commecial successes. A selection
of arias, duets and instrumental pieces from Handel masterworks such as
Semele, Hercules, Partenope, a.o. With liner notes by the british Handel
specialist Dr. David Vickers. Incl. a dedication by mystery writer
Donna Leon, who was a close friend to Alan Curtis. (Presto Classical)One of the very last recordings of baroque-pioneer conductor Alan Curtis
