Product Description

Album Description

Handel has always been an important part of Ian Bostridge's singing life. This recording partly sprung from his early roots in singing the oratorios and his familiarity with past British singers who made the Handel tenor a cultural fixture.

The repertoire on this album is a mixture of English and Italian language arias from both opera and oratorios, some of which were originally written for castrati. The arias range from the famed Messiah aria `Ev'ry Valley' and `Ombra mai fu' (Serse) to the haunting `Total Eclipse' (Samson).

In two arias (`Happy we' and `As steals the morn'), Bostridge is joined by British soprano Kate Royal, who has been signed as an exclusive artist by EMI Classics and is releasing her debut recording on the label later this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 21 Jul 2007
By J. Robinson "jean24680" (Blackburn, Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
By the time I'd had this CD for about two hours, I'd nearly worn out the last track, "Waft her, angels, through the skies". Ian Bostridge has the most beautiful baroque voice - I could listen to it for hours on end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 4 Nov 2007
Wonderful music, it's such a pleasure to have a permanent record of much of the music played at the Proms concert. The review by Arturo Viola of this CD and also that of Kate Royal's latest are laughably pathetic - why someone so out of tune(pun intended) with the rest of the music world bothers to write this rubbish is unfathomable to me. I'm sure Mr Viola's reply will be 'everybody's entitled to their own opinion' - here's mine;
you're an unutterable twerp.
