G.F.Handel - Oreste

2 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 209 Mb


DepositFiles - FileFactory

During the 1730s Handel padded out his London opera seasons with pasticci, assembled using arias by his favourite contemporaries (notably Vinci). There are three exceptions that consist entirely of Handel's own music: Oreste, Alessandro Severo and Jupiter in Argos. In these forgotten operas, Handel cannily adapted a mixture of old and recent arias to a new libretto, and composed a few new pieces where necessary. Scholars have considered them unworthy of inclusion in the accepted canon, but this seems rather snobbish if one remembers that Handel used the same formula to assemble Rinaldo (1711) for his London debut.

cast:

Mary-Ellen Nesi (mezzo-soprano): Oreste
Marita Mitsopoulou (soprano): Ermione
Mata Katsuli (soprano): Ifidenia
Petros Koroneos (tenor): Pilade
Petros Magoulas (bass): Toante
Nicholas Spanos (countertenor): Filotete

Pierre Attaignant - Preludes, Chansons & Dances For The Lute

This is essentially small, intimate music, so perhaps it is best not to make too much of it. Still, there is something seductive about these little lute pieces by Pierre Attaingnant (1494-1552), a contemporary of Rabelais who obviously shared that immortal author's excitement over being part of an age when the sheer joys of being human were about to be rediscovered. From his cramped printing shop in the Left Bank, not far from the Sorbonne, Attaignant produced quiet yet extraordinary music for the lute. Hopkinson Smith, without doubt the finest lute player in the world today, here follows his explorations of Iberian lute music with this revealing glimpse at the sounds of the Paris of Rabelais. It is a delicious recording. Octavio Roca
