About this product

Freedom is a dominant theme in the English oratorios of Georg Friedrich Handel. These grand works are mostly based on biblical stories that deal with resistance, suppression, captivity and, finally, freedom. Debut album by young countertenor Oscar Verhaar. Oscar selected eight arias drawn from Haendel's English oratorios. Diversified moods and atmospheres and the support of La Sfera Armoniosa baroque orchestra make this disc a constant pleasure to listen to. Album Tracks 1. All Danger Disdaining - Deborah (HWV 51) 2. Return, O God of Hosts - Samson (HWV 57) 3. Fury, with Red-Sparking Eyes - Alexander Balus (HWV 65) 4. Ouverture - Susanna (HWV 66) 5. Staccatp E Non Troppo Allegro - Susanna (HWV 66) 6.

Fiammetta Tarli - Freedom - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
Fiammetta Tarli - Freedom - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
Not Yet Reviewed

This recording's title, Freedom, reflects the disc's exploration of what composers produced when they did not start with a codified musical form but rather with a poetic idea. In this thought-provoking program, both Schubert and Schumann's cycles show powers of evocation and characterization at their height, while in Schoenberg's music, pared back beyond it's essentials, we catch a glimpse into the elements of a psychological crisis. Fiammetta Tarli's playing reveals details of the music unheard before, and in such central repertoire that's quite an achievement; especially impressive is the sense of buoyant fun that she found in Schoenberg's short piano pieces, fun being seldom associated to Schoenberg's music. Album Tracks 1. Schubert Moments Musicaux D. 780, Op. 94 2. Schumann Phantasiestücke, Op. 12 3. Schoenberg Sechs Kleine Klavierstücke, Op. 19

This new recording includes four Handel organ concertos, among them the famous Concerto Op. 7, No. 3 in B flat major, the so-called InchHallelujah ConcertoInch (with a theme excerpt from InchMessiahInch). The works were played in Dresden's Kreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross) at the Horizontal Organ, making the situation comparable to Handel's new Horizontal Organ at the Royal Theatre, Covent Garden (1739). Album Tracks 1. Handel Overture of the Oratorio Deborah HWV 51 2. Organ Concerto Op.4 No.5 in F HWV 293 3. Organ Concerto Op.4 No.2 in B Flat HWV 290 4. Organ Concerto Op.7 No.5 in G minor HWV 310 5. Organ Concerto Op.7 No.3 in B Flat 'Hallelujah Concerto' HWV 308. - Holger Gehring/Barockorchester D - Holger Gehring/Barockorchester Der Kreuzkirche Dresden
