Total Eclipse: Music For Handel's Tenor
) | Label: NCL Catalog: 8573914 Format: CD Stubbs, Stephen; Sheehan, Aaron; Pacific MusicWorks OrchestraJohn Beard was a young tenor who came to George Frideric Handel’s attention when still a teenager. He inspired the great composer to give new focus to the tenor voice within his English oratorios. Beard was Handel’s ideal in his demands for ‘articulate utterance of the words and a just expression of the melody’- a collaboration that climaxed in Handel’s creation of the first truly great tenor part as the hero in Samson. Grammy Award-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan steps into John Beard’s shoes equipped with a voice of ‘shining quality and deep sensitivity’ (The New York Times).  Price: $19.98 |
