Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Paul Figuier

René Jacobs and Sunhae Im tackle Handel’s Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno in Dortmund’s acoustically dry Reinoldihaus. Despite challenges, Im’s radiant soprano and B’Rock Orchestra’s basso continuo group shine. 

Young countertenor Figuier gives an accomplished vocal performance, sometimes overpowered by the energy of Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques. Oboist Gilles Vanssons steals the show.

La direction de Philippe Jaroussky et la mise en scène de Benjamin Lazar servent magnifiquement une œuvre riche en airs et en péripéties.
