Handel: Alcina / Curtis

Handel: Alcina / Alan Curtis
Deutsche Grammophon | ARCHIV Produktion | 16 Mar. 2009 | 3 CDs
EAC Rip | ape (img+cue) | logs | cover | no scans | 951 MB

“Under baroque-pioneer conductor Alan Curtis, the sorceress Alcina bewitches as never before for Handel year 2009
Alan Curtis, lauded by Opera as “one of our finest conductors of Baroque opera,” illumines Handel’s masterpiece, Alcina, by casting, as heroine, the brilliant Joyce DiDonato
Since Alcina is historically dared by virtuosic sopranos like Sutherland and Battle, this innovative recording with a mezzo is a must-have not just for Alcina freaks but all who adore sensational vocalism
As Handel did in his time, Curtis arrays our era’s finest Baroque singers – such as Maite Beaumont and Karina Gauvin – in supporting roles around his star
With this electrifying Alcina, first ever studio recording of the rarely heard Ezio and Rolando Villazón’s new album, Handel Year 2009 is being exceptionally well feted by Deutsche Grammophon.		”

Ravel/Gershwin: Piano Concertos / Grimaud

“Amazon.com essential recording
This is one class act. Helene Grimaud generally prefers the heavy-duty German repertoire and has fought hard not to be typecast as a dainty "French" female pianist. Nevertheless she has expressed a certain affection for selected French and non-Germanic works, which is a good thing for us because this is the best performance of the Gershwin concerto we are ever likely to hear. It has style, warmth, and bravura to spare. In fact, everyone concerned treats it like it's the greatest piece of music in the world, and the same positives apply to the Ravel.

“
"Orlando Gibbons is my favorite composer -always has been, I can't think of anybody who represents the end of an era better than Orlando Gibbons does." This profession of faith in the great English virginalist is more than an act of defiance: it harks back to Gould's early childhood experiences with Puritanism.

-- Michael Stegemann

EAC Rip | ape (img+cue) | no log | cover | no scans

“As part of their celebration of his centenary, DG have reissued Karajan’s cycle of Bruckner’s nine numbered symphonies that he set down in Berlin between 1975 and 1981.
This repackaging of Karajan’s Bruckner cycle affords an appropriate and very worthy centennial tribute.
