- Description: Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre return to Handel with a complete recording of his opera Alcina. The title role is interpreted by Magdalena Kožena, who reunites with Les Musiciens and maestro Minkowski after a series of acclaimed baroque recordings. She is joined by an excellent casts of soloists, consisting of Erin Morley (Morgana), Anna Bonitatibus (Ruggiero), Elzabeth DeShong (Bradamante), Alois Muhlbacher (Oberto), Valerio Contaldo (Oronte) and Alex Rosen (Melisso). This studio recording transports the listener to Alcina's enchanted island, and shows Handel at the peak of his power the score is dramatic, rich and colourful as well as introspective and profound where the story requires it. Since it's foundation in 1982, and under the baton of it's founder and musical director Marc Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre have developed into one of the world's best period-instrument ensembles, with a vast discography. The ensemble returns to Pentatone after having presented Mozart's Mass in C Minor in 2020. Alcina is star mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožena's fifth album as part of her exclusive collaboration with Pentatone, after having presented the baroque cantatas recital album Il giardino dei sospiri and the songs in chamber-musical setting project Soiree in 2019, as well as Nostalgia together with Yefim Bronfman (2021) and Folk Songs with the Czech Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle (2023). The other soloists all make their Pentatone debut. Album Tracks 1. Alcina, HWV 34~Ouverture 2. Alcina, HWV 34~Musette 3. Alcina, HWV 34~Menuet 4. Alcina, HWV 34~Act 1. Oh Dei! 5.
