Music reviews of Emma Kirkby - Handel Opera Arias / Goodman, Brandenburg Consort

Music Review: Handel Arias...Lovingly Played, Triumphantly Sung...MORE, PLEASE!
Rating: 5 Stars

One of my favorite singers, and certainly for baroque, is Emma Kirkby. She is certainly unparalleled in this, her element.

This album, so sadly, I see, has now gone out of print. It has long been one of my favorite albums. I frequently put it on when I do not have time to listen to a complete Handel opera, but can feed my desire for his work, with these many excerpts, interspersed with instrumental selections from his operas, as well by the Baroque Consort, Roy Goodman at the helm.

Goodman seems to be a greatly underrated, unappreciated conductor...but NOT in MY book! Like so many others, he sort of "sits" just on the outside of truly popular recognition, which I do not understand.

Anyway, if you are able, get yourself a copy of this album, and thrill to some of the greatest vocalization of Handel's music you have ever heard.

Particularly, "Vedrai sa' tuo despetto", "Ah Spietato", Ombre, piante", and "Vo' far guerra"......you're gonna love this album, and be blown away with Kirkby's pyrotechnics! I bet you'll always keep it within handy reach! ~operabruin
