Handel - Alcina (Richard Hickox, Arleen Auger) [2006]

Posted By: Sowulo

Date: 9 Mar 2016 09:17:06

This is a wonderful studio recording of one of Handel's most accomplished opera's. Unlike Christie's live recording where the voices seem too remote this production has excellent balance and faultless sound. Arleen Auger is magnificent. She is involved and passionate and has a voice of both power and beauty. Indeed, the whole cast is second to none. Where this set surpasses Christie is the warmth and immediacy of the performance.
