Bal Kan - Honey and Blood

3 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 341 Mb

The name of the Balkans has an unusually graphic etymology. Having discovered the beauty of this pivotal part of Europe and experienced the ruggedness of its people (who put up fierce resistance to invasion), the Turks chose to describe the region with the words Bal (Honey) and Kan (Blood). Never was there so apt a metaphor. On this new set from Alia Vox, Jordi Savall presents an ambitious program that explores the length and breadth of a region that has always had more than its share of human and historical drama. Joined by guest musicians from the Balkan region, Savall traces the cycles of life, structured around the four seasons of the year and the corresponding seasons of human life.

Antonio Soler - Sonatas for harpsichord (Complete)

13 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 1.87 Gb

Owing mainly to the tireless efforts of the late Father Samuel Rubio and other editors in making his works available in print during the past forty years, Padre Antonio Soler is now justly regarded as the most important composer active in Spain during the second half of the eighteenth century. Spanish folk-song and dance elements, as well as virtuoso effects, such as repeated notes in the left hand against wide leaps and hand crossings in the right, feature prominently in the 150 Sonatas.

G.F.Handel - La Resurrezione, oratorio, HWV 47

Such stalwarts as Christopher Hogwood, Marc Minkowski, John Eliot Gardiner, and Nicholas McGegan tackled Handel's early oratorio La Resurrezione before Emmanuelle Haïm, but hers may well be the most passionate performance of the once-rare work yet recorded. Part of the reason is Haïm's own fiery nature. Nothing here is merely filler: every aria, recitative, and interlude is played for maximum musical and emotional value. Part of her success is due to Haïm's choice of soloists. While some listeners might wish soprano Camilla Tilling brought more strength to her part, she and the other four soloists bring plenty of intensity to their singing. All of them, particularly Luca Pisaroni as Lucifero, make the most of every opportunity for virtuoso display and emotional expressivity, and the cumulative effect is close to exhausting. Haïm's orchestra, Le Concert d'Astrée, a sterling group of musicians, is every bit as dedicated to fulfilling the requirements of the music as it is to satisfying the stringent demands of its leader. Recorded in richly detailed and lushly colorful sound, this La Resurrezione deserves to be heard by anyone who likes the work or the composer.
