JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAU
MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Rameau: Regne Amour (Love songs from the operas)
Carolyn Sampson (soprano) / Ex Cathedra / Jeffrey Skidmore, conductor
[ Hyperion / CD ]
Release Date: Monday 7 June 2004
Carolyn Sampson, the young soprano who is fast establishing a reputation for performances of dazzling virtuosity and musicality, presents arias from seven operas by Rameau, her first solo recording.
'This wonderful music will always need special vocal advocacy and there can be few outside France as equipped as Carolyn Sampson' (Gramophone)
'Carolyn Sampson's voice almost inevitably gives pleasure and her singing of this repertoire, strikingly varied in its stylistic and expressive ranges, is well nigh ideal' (BBC Music Magazine)
'This is a stunning CD. Never before have I heard such fantastic performances of Rameau from an English group. The undoubted star of the show is former choirboy-soundalike Carolyn Sampson, whose voice has (seemingly) been gradually developing velvety tones over the past year or so, and here is showcased in all its spectacular radiance in selections from seven of Rameau's stage works … don't miss this!' (Early Music Review)
