Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (2005) more music like this

performed by Candida Thompson (violin), Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo), Henk Rubingh (violin), Jan Jansen (harpsichord), Janine Jansen (violin), Julian Rachlin (viola), Maarten Jansen (cello), Stacey Watton (double bass)
composed by Antonio Vivaldi

The young Dutch violinist Janine Jansen has attracted attention, to say the least, with the cover artwork on her recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons violin concertos; it could have come straight out of the European edition of Vogue in a year when necklines plunged off the bottom of the chart. But the real surprises come on the disc itself. Jansen ...

The Best of Andreas Scholl (2006) more music like this

performed by Accademia Bizantina, Andreas Scholl (counter tenor), Barbara Bonney (soprano), Baroque String Quartet, Edin Karamazov (lute), Edin Karamazov (archlute), Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo), Harvey Brough (psaltery), Hyun-Sun Ha (harp), Les Talens Lyriques
composed by Antonio Vivaldi, Christoph Willibald Gluck, English Traditional, Francesco Gasparini, George Frederick Handel, Giovanni Pergolesi, Giulio Caccini, Jocelyn Pook, John Dowland, Korean Traditional, Nicola Porpora

This disc collects a great variety of performances recorded for the Decca label by German-born countertenor Andreas Scholl, who says that the high male voice in which he sings is something he produces naturally, not something he specially cultivates. He makes you believe it. The diverse program is logically organized, with Baroque arias of various ...

Great Handel (2007) more music like this

performed by Andrew Watts (bassoon), Anthony Robson (oboe), Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo), Ian Bostridge (tenor), Lisa Beznosiuk (flute), Richard Earle (oboe), Richard Lester [cello] (cello), Sally Jackson (bassoon), Sarah Cunningham (viola da gamba)
composed by George Frederick Handel

Ian Bostridge's collection of Handel arias and recitatives plunges boldly into the familiar repertoire -- pieces done so frequently that they're likely to be greeted with a yawn. It's a measure of Bostridge's confidence that he devotes much of the CD to these warhorses, and of his skill, that they come across as fresh and newly imagined. Bostridge ...

performed by Barry Banks (tenor), David Cohen (cello), Dean Robinson (bass), Diana Montague (mezzo-soprano), Elizabeth Futral (soprano), Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo), Jane Marshall (cor anglais), Lucy Wakeford (harp), Peter Wedd (tenor)
composed by Carlisle Floyd, Charles Gounod, Gaetano Donizetti, George Frederick Handel, Gioachino Rossini, Hector Berlioz, Jacques Offenbach, Léo Delibes, Vincenzo Bellini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

It's hard not to consider this disc of aria selections as an introductory sample of Chandos's whole Opera in English project and to judge it according to one's feelings about the series. But these performances by the charismatic young American soprano Elizabeth Futral deserve to be evaluated on their own merits, insofar as they contribute to the ...

performed by Daniel Taylor (counter tenor), Elizabeth Kenny (lute), Elizabeth Kenny (harp), Frances Kelly (harp), James Bowman (counter tenor), Mark Levy (gamba), Ralph Fiennes, Theatre of Early Music
composed by Abraham Cowley, Anonymous, English, Ben Jonson, Francis Quarles, George Herbert, John Dowland, John Playford (i), Robert (ii) Johnson, Robert Jones [composer], Sir Walter Raleigh, Thomas Campion, William Shakespeare

This collection of post-Elizabethan melancholy risks being overly ambitious, for it tries to pursue two innovative goals. First, it mixes songs and poetry of the period; it is not the only recording to have done so, but it is likely to be the first one that attendees at the Stratford Festival, say, run across on the rack. Second, it tries to ...

composed by John Blow

Where did the big, imposing, public quality of Handel's English choral music come from? Listening to the music of John Blow (1649-1708) uncovers part of the answer. Blow, organist at the Chapel Royal and later the impressively titled "Composer of the Chapel Royal," was the preeminent church composer of the English restoration. His anthems, 14 of ...

composed by Henry Purcell

The young English soprano Carolyn Sampson has been heard in ensemble recordings of music by Bach, Handel, and Monteverdi, among other mostly Baroque composers. In Purcell's songs, many drawn from otherwise forgotten theatrical productions, she has strong competition from Emma Kirkby, among other British stalwarts, but she stands up to them and ...

Arie Antiche (2004) more music like this

performed by Dmitri Hvorostovsky (baritone), Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo), John Constable (organ), John Constable (harpsichord), Kenneth Sillito (violin), Malcolm Latchem (violin), Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Neville Marriner (conductor)
composed by Alessandro Scarlatti, Alessandro Stradella, Antonio Caldara, Antonio Cesti, Antonio Vivaldi, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Francesco Durante, George Frederick Handel, Giacomo Carissimi, Giulio Caccini, Giuseppe Giordani, Vincenzo Ciampi

This disc, originally recorded in 1997, has been issued in various forms; the current Arie Antiche (Antique Arias) title is better than the British release that bestowed upon the program the wimpy title of Dmitri Hvorostovsky Sings Classical Arias. Most of the arias are Baroque, not Classical, and a few come from early in the Baroque era -- ...

composed by Cuthbert Hely, Henry Lawes, René Saman, William Lawes

It has taken a surprisingly long time for Hyperion, an English label distinguished in the area of Baroque music, to get to the music of brothers William and Henry Lawes. It forms an indispensable part of the literature that we have from the reign of Charles I, which is typically presented as a period in which the common Englishman lived in ...

composed by Henry Purcell, John Blow, Pelham Humfrey, William Croft

With one singer to a part and very sparing use of continuo, this 2006 Virgin recording of Divine Hymns by Henry Purcell, William Croft, John Blow, and Pelham Humfrey is both lively and severe. Performed by Les Arts Florissants under the direction of William Christie, the works here express a huge emotional range, and the singers -- tenor Paul ...
