Iestyn Davies fine disc of cantatas by Porpora is reviewed here.
A
fine disc of civilised entertainment which wears its learning and
musicality lightly.
Choral music by Dame Ethel Smyth's friend and teacher Heinrich von Herzogenberg is reviewed here.
Nothing
here remotely approaches the vividness or intensity which Herzogenberg’s
great contemporaries could achieve in this repertoire.
My review of a selection of Mad Scenes and Arias from Joan Sutherland's early recitals is here.
Showcases
the talents of the young Sutherland.
A selection of Rossini operas from the Rossini Festival in Pesaro is reviewed here.
Not
perfect but lively and involving and certainly worth the low price.
And my review of a disc based around music for Vespers by contemporaries of Monteverdi is here.
All reviews are on MusicWeb International.
Subtle
charm, intelligence, commitment and clever programming.
