Love it!!! I have just met Mary Bevan and I’m in heaven. Today I can say that Sarah Connolly and Mary Bevan are my two favourite mezzosopranos. Händel would have chosen them, no doubt about that!!
Handel : The Programme 'The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' from Solomon, HWV67 'Volate, amori' from Ariodante 'Dolce riposo ed inoccente pace' from Teseo 'Felicissima quest'alma' from Apollo & Daphne, HWV122 Suite of dances from Ariodante, HWV33 'Lascia la spina cogli la rosa' from Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, HWV46a Concerto Grosso Op. 3 No. 2 in B-flat Major, HWV313 'Will the sun forget to streak' from Solomon, HWV67 Concerto Grosso Op. 3 No. 6 in D Major, HWV317 'O Ecstasy of Happiness' & 'Myself I shall adore' from Semele, HWV58 'M'adora l'idol mio, gode il mio core' from Teseo, HWV9 Overture to Rinaldo, HWV7a 'Verso gia l'alma col sangue' from Acis & Galatea 'O sleep, why dost thou Leave Me' from Semele, HWV58 'Bless'd the Day' from Solomon, HWV67 Overture to Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, HWV46a 'Troppo oltraggil la mia fede, alma fiera' from Serse, HWV40 --Awesome, totally awesome!
Handel's sublime music never fails to delight when performed by such high quality musicians and soloists. Thank you. I can't think of anything better to help get through lockdown.
Another who would have gone to Malvern! Brilliant concert and much appreciate the opportunity to experience the Cambridge performance in such challenging times.
Like Barry Wild, my wife and I had tickets for tomorrow's performance in Malvern, which sadly had to be cancelled. Nothing beats a live performance, but what a tremendous second-best this recording is. Great music performed by excellent instrumentalists and singers.
We were looking forward to going to this concert on Saturday in Malvern and disappointed that it understandably had to be cancelled. Thank you so much for making it available like this - we will watch and listen tomorrow evening at the same time we would have been at Malvern.
Thank you so much for making this wonderful concert available online in this time of crisis and self-distancing. As in previous years, I had been planning to return to Cambridge in the Fall and attend the all the AAM concerts at West Road while I am there. Since this is now looking less and less likely, it has been an extra benefit to see so many familiar faces among the players and that brick wall behind them. If you are able to continue performing and life streaming, I hope you will also continue to post the videos.
This splendor of words can not attach it I feel like I’m wandering around in the Old Testament that shows infinite expanse The diversity’s depths of Handel is immeasurable, and unfathomab Women’s clear singing voices are out of this world FromTokyo
Habla el INFRAOMNISCIENTE : ! Que alegría que me da, al ver que el 20% de los artistas musicales pasan de los 50 años. Ya que en las profesiones de los humanos, somo marginados de lo que sabemos hacerlo bien y son nulas las posibilidades de seguir subsistiendo. En lo que respecta a la calidad musical, me embeleso y me gusto mucho (eso que soy tan solo un exartesano de HispaQuichuahablante, Ecuador). Minuto 84:00.......................................Transmute desde El Mas Allá, hacia El Mas Aquí....Gracias VIRGENES MARÍA y SARAH.!!!!!!.
AAM PEOPLE, THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS GREAT CONCERT, AMAZING PERFORMANCE , WHAT A BEAUTY. IN A SMALL COLLECTION OF SOME OLD VINIL LP & CD´S I HAVE KEPT, I REMEMBER SOME PARTICIPANTS SUCH AS TREVOR PINOCK, (?) N. HARNONCOURT, MANY MORE.......ALWAYS GREAT LEVEL OF MAKING MUSIC !!!!CONGRATS
Жодної "поганої ноти", хіба то є доба барокко? То є сучасне виконання, "симфонічне", від вправних лабухів. Так можна виконувати Штраусса, Лєгара. Розчарований я.
Are there any English composers of the Baroque other than Handel (not really English) and Purcell? Back in the 70's I heard that there are but ever since then that gossip has not been corroborated.
Plenty! John Eccles (we recorded his opera 'Semele' recently - same libretto as Handel's, but a very different music); Thomas Arne, J C Smith (we'll record his setting of Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost, next year), Maurice Greene, Daniel Purcell (Henry's brother), William Croft, Benjamin Cooke, John Blow, William Boyce, William Corbett, Christopher Gibbons, William Lawes, J C Pepusch (German-born, but permanently settled in England, much like Handel), William Lawes and Henry Lawes, Jeremiah Clarke... and plenty more!
@@AcademyofAncientMusic I sing with the Early Music Forum Scotland choir and our M.D.Philip Redfern is keen on Blow. I've missed my merry band of choristers and Philip's tales. E.g. Mean composers who write nigh impossible key changes and intervals for singers who get on their nerves. 😆😆🗣🎶🎵😭 Thank you for sharing these glorious works. Xxx
Lovely instrumental playing. The singing is ghastly and totally out of place. Shrill, strident and wobbly. Sorry - I can't help my perceptions, they're the only ones I've got🤥
