Handel: Heroes From Shadow / Stutzmann

Orfeo 55; Stutzmann; Jaroussky

Composed by: Handel, Georg Frideric

In 2009, contralto and conductor Nathalie Stutzmann founded her own chamber orchestra, Orfeo 55, with which she tours extensively and with whom she partners on this new release. + The orchestra, which performs on both baroque and modern instruments, performs not only music from the Baroque, but also works by 20th c. composers such as Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg. + This album focuses on Handel’s contralto arias: music from some of his best-loved operas, but rarely heard independently of full performances.
