GEORG FRIDERIC HANDEL
Handel: Dualità
Emőke Baráth (soprano) / Ensemble Artaserse, Philippe Jaroussky
[ Warner Classics / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 18 February 2022
In Dualità, an album of arias from nine Handel operas, soprano Emőke Baráth explores "the duality of the female soul - in which sensitivity unites with power" and the potential of the female voice to characterise both heroines and heroes. At the same time, she provides an insight into the careers of her 18th century counterparts, notably the prime donne of Handel's opera company in London. Baráth is partnered by Artaserse under the direction of Philippe Jaroussky.
'She provides a sonic feast: rich bottom-register timbre, brilliant yet voluptuous top notes and a pure core that energises even her longest lines...Crossing to the podium is a rare move for a vocal virtuoso, and Jaroussky sets a high bar for his very full conducting and singing schedule this year.' BBC Music Opera Choice April 2022
