composed by Claudio Monteverdi

After almost 400 years, you might think Monteverdi's L'Orfeo would have lost its luster. But in the right hands it can still be deeply exciting, allowing you to relive the birth of an electric and emotionally charged new art form. Emmanuelle Haïm's new L'Orfeo, starring Ian Bostridge, is that kind of experience. It combines truly electric ...

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

Claudio Monteverdi's sacred music has been ripe for a top-notch complete traversal such as it is now receiving from the King's Consort and conductor Robert King. As choirmaster of St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice for the last 30 years of his life, Monteverdi wrote a lot of sacred music and explored many of the myriad sonic configurations possible in ...

composed by Gioachino Rossini

Rossini orchestrated his Petite messe solennelle of 1864 in order, he wrote, to stop "Mr. Sax and his saxophones" and "Mr. Berlioz with other giants from the modern orchestra" from stepping in. Nevertheless, he is said to have preferred the work's original version, for eight choral singers, four soloists, two pianos, and a harmonium. Various ...

composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Soprano Carolyn Sampson looks a little surprised to be featured on the front cover of Hyperion's Mozart: Exsultate Jubilate! With the notable exception of its redoubtable Hyperion Schubert Lieder Edition, Hyperion seldom makes use of artist images on the front cover, preferring instead to match a period artwork to the musical content inside. An ...

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

It hasn't been too long a time ago when it was a frustrating business trying to find a good recording of Claudio Monteverdi's signature masterwork Vespro della Beata Vergene, arguably the most ambitious entrance examination ever fulfilled in the history of music. In the old days of LPs, one in search of some measure of transparency in this work ...

composed by Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Maria Ruggieri

What can anyone add to the praise that has deservedly been heaped on Robert King and the King's Consort's 11 discs of the complete sacred music of Vivaldi? Can one add that every single performance is first class -- wonderfully musical, deeply dedicated, and profoundly spiritual? Can one add that every single performer is first class -- absolutely ...

If your ideal vocal recording places the performer next to your seat and your ideal vocal performance has the performer singing directly into your ear, this disc by mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kozená will be just about ideal. No matter what the repertoire -- and Kozená performs everything from Bach to Gounod to Shostakovich -- and no matter what the ...

composed by Johann Sebastian Bach

In a time when Bach cantatas are recorded in big bunches, it's a pleasure to find a single-disc grouping, beautifully selected and performed. Weinen, Klagen... (Weeping, Lamentation...) presents three cantatas with a common theme and plan. The theme of lamentation in the face of suffering and death transmuted into the comfort of Christ is a common ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

Even if you think the big "Rule, Britannia!" mood is the way to go with Handel, give a chance to Robert King's version of the Ode for St. Cecilia's Day, recorded with the King's Consort and its choir on the Hyperion label. Handel in this much-loved work set a poem in praise of music by John Dryden; between opening and closing stanzas that ...

Handel's "nine German arias" (he wrote other arias in German, but this is a discrete group) were written in the mid-1720s, long after the composer left his native Germany for Italy and then booming Great Britain. It is not known why he should have written music in German at that late date, and the pieces have a quietly contented tone that sets ...

composed by Claudio Monteverdi

One might have thought Robert King had no worlds left to conquer. After all, he had already recorded all the sacred choral works of Vivaldi along with much of the choral music of Bach, Handel, Telemann, and Schütz in the '80s and '90s. But when King turned his attention to the sacred music of Monteverdi in the early years of the third millennium, ...
