Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Aci, Galatea e Polifemo, HWV 72

Beeindruckendes Solisten-Trio und Instrumentalensemble unter Leitung Steven Devines sorgten für eine in vielerlei Hinsicht passende Premiere in und Rückkehr nach Malta.

The Halle Handel Festival brings wonderful Baroque vocalising and playing in this somewhat obscure offering from Handel's early days in Italy. 

The bass truly got his needle working on preparing his latest role, the raging cyclops Polifemo. 

“Who were these people? How did they think? What would it be like to experience life in their time and gain full insight into their musical minds?” These are some of the main questions I ask when doing research to aid my understanding of historically informed performance in 17th and 18th-century Baroque music.
