A Soul in Love: Carolyn Sampson sings Handel, live at Wigmore Hall
The Finnish Baroque Orchestra performs instrumental music by Scarlatti, father and son, and is joined by soprano Carolyn Sampson for three of Handel's ravishing Italian Cantatas.
The Finnish Baroque Orchestra performs instrumental music by Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti and is joined by one of the UK's leading sopranos, Carolyn Sampson, for three of Handel's ravishing Italian Cantatas.
Handel was 21 when he left Germany for a four-year Italian sojourn and the ever-canny composer soon built up an extensive web of connections, gaining employment and commissions from wealthy aristocratic patrons. The prolific output of those years includes dozens of cantatas which Handel produced for his patrons' personal enjoyment at lavish soir茅es where dressing up in Classical garb was de rigueur. Usually scored for small instrumental ensemble and solo soprano (women were prohibited from singing in public at the time), the cantatas are mini-dramas, often setting erotic classical texts, including beautiful arias many of which are now familiar to us in recycled versions made by Handel for his later and more famous operas.
