Music reviews of Ah! Mio Cor' Handel: Arias

Music Review: Handel Exagerated
Rating: 3 Stars

There are beautiful arias on this disc, but they are spoiled by exageratedly slow tempi ("Scherza infida," for instance), exagerated "acting," and exagerated diction. I most of the Italian arias, Miss Kozena rolls her "Rs" in exagerated fashion ("Io trrradito in morrrte in brrraccio"), exagerates her "Ps." Her "acting" in the "Hercules" aria distorts the vocal line (this is also apparent in the "Agrippina," and "Orlando" arias), and causes her to make weird noises in the lower register - it almost seems she has no low notes. That said, Miss Kozena impresses in the rapid divisions and her commitment to the text is never in doubt. If the listener likes or doesn't mind the above, the album may delight.

Description of Ah! Mio Cor' Handel: Arias

This is Magdalena Koz ená s first collaboration with the
acclaimed Venice Baroque Orchestra and Andrea Marcon
a superlative grouping and a must-have album for every
Handel fan. Following her best-selling album Lamento,
Magdalena Koz ená returns to her musical home ground, the
world of dramatic Baroque singing, with her first Handel arias
album. Once again Koz ená has combined both well-known
and lesser-known works to create a personal anthology of
the most dramatic moments of love, hatred, hope, and
desperation. The program includes arias from Rinaldo, Giulio
Cesare, Alcina, and Joshua, among others. Handel s complex
characters and passionate writing are the perfect vehicles for
Koz ená s unique talent for delivering even the most
elaborate emotions through the sheer beauty of her singing.
The voice that goes straight to the heart (The Sunday
Times) takes listeners on an emotional odyssey.
