Hille Perl / Dorothee Mields HÄNDEL

Hille Perl is the most successful viola da gamba player of our time. Now she has found a fabulous combination of musician friends for her new Handel album: Dorothee Mields, one of the best baroque sopranos, along with lutenist Lee Santana and the redoubtable La Folia Barockorchester. The repertoire chosen includes Handel’s Cantata “Tra le fiamme,” while the rarely recorded “cantata spagnuola” and the cantata “La bianca rosa” are combined with two chaconnes, the famous hornpipe and other smaller pieces. An impressive recording full of musical colour, dynamism, virtuosity and compositional diversity. (Presto Classical)
