Ombra Cara - Handel Arias / Bejun Mehta

Bejun Mehta (countertenor) & Rosemary Joshua (soprano) Freiburger Barockorchester, René Jacobs

Handel: Sento la gioia (Amadigi) Voi, che udite il mio lamento (from Agrippina) Agitato da fiere tempeste (Riccardo Primo) Stille amare (Tolomeo) Ah Stigie larve! (from Orlando) Rodrigo: Overture Ombra cara di mia sposa (from Radamisto) Fra tempeste funeste, Con rauco memorio (Rodelinda) Fammi Combattere (Orlando) Per le porte de tormento (from Sosarme)

"one of the finest Handel opera recitals I have heard... evidence of a superior musician at the peak of his vocal powers. He has luxury support from the Freiburg Barockers and Jacobs, himself a former countertenor and a no less imaginative Handelian. The icing on this sumptuous cake is the gorgeous duet from Sosarme, in which Rosemary Joshua’s voice blends ideally with Mehta’s. A treat from start to finish." Hugh Canning, 2 January 2011
