Music reviews of Bach - Magnificat / Handel - Dixit DominusMusic Review: New benchmark recordings of two Baroque masterpieces
Simon Preston's excellent 1990 recording of the 22 year old Handel's choral masterwork Dixit Dominus has withstood the test of time, often appearing as first choice amongst Handelians when judging recordings of it. Released during the early days of the cd and the first flowering of the period instruments movement, it had an interpretive grace that seemed most representative of Handel's intentions. Emmanuelle Haim and her Le Concert d'Astree have released a series of superb recordings in recent years, offering a freshness of interpretation that bespoke a brilliant new voice in the historically informed performance movement. Her Monteverdi recordings are wonderful and her recording of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas may be the current cream of the crop. She seems to have avoided Bach ... until now. Whether by design or not, she waited until she had accumulated the necessary interpretive chops before tackling these two heavyweight jewels of the German Baroque.
