Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Andreas Scholl is without doubt one of the most extraordinary singers to have exploded into public prominence within recent years. With some counter-tenors, it sometimes feels as if one is listening out of duty, or out of respect to "authentic" practice--with Scholl, as with all truly great singers, you listen because you can't stop. His voice is crystal pure throughout its range, and perfectly controlled by a remarkable technique. But more than that, he performs with such engaging warmth that whether he is being romantic, angry or lachrymose he is always totally convincing. On this disc of opera arias by Handel, he gives the impression that the composer had him in mind when he wrote them, so completely does he get under the skin of each one. In addition to performing the classics of the counter-tenor repertoire, such as "Verdi prati" and "Ombra mai fu", he also explores some unfamiliar territory with a delicious aria from the little-known Admeto. He is accompanied by the Akademie für Alte Music, who match his phrasing with almost shocking accuracy and support him with effortless ease. -- Warwick Thompson
