There are recordings that most people will love, and some that by general agreement miss the mark. And certain recordings are loved by some but hated by others. This 1995 Angel-label release, now reissued on Virgin Classics, falls into a special subset of this last group. Featuring a countertenor singing African-American spirituals, it's ...

composed by George Frederick Handel, Recorded Sound

When it comes to extravagant colors, extraordinary drama, integrated harmonies, and inexorable tragedy, it's hard to beat Handel's 1739 oratorio Saul. Upon the sturdy architecture of Charles Jennens' libretto based on the First Book of Samuel, Handel built a mighty three-act edifice of astonishing cogency and astounding effectiveness. In this ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

Premiered in Venice during the winter of 1709-1710, Handel's Agrippina played an amazing 27 times in succession and crowned the 25-year-old German composer's stay in Italy. Although grander operas followed after Handel moved to England, Agrippina is still a fully mature, superbly realized, and brilliantly musical work. Cardinal Grimani's libretto ...

performed by Derek Lee Ragin (counter tenor), Frank Lloyd (horn), Gerald Finley (baritone), Jean Rigby (contralto), Judi Dench, Osian Ellis (harp), Philip Langridge (tenor), Steuart Bedford (piano)
composed by Benjamin Britten

At their best, Benjamin Britten's Canticles are hypnotic works that walk a fine line between piety and theater. If they sound studied, they lose their connection to gut emotion, and if they go over the top expressively, Britten's finely woven tapestries of sound give way to chaos. Few recordings have managed to straddle that line as well as this ...

performed by Christoph Genz (tenor), Derek Lee Ragin (alto), Lisa Larsson (soprano), Nathalie Stutzmann (alto), Panajotis Iconomou (bass), Monteverdi Choir (choir, chorus), English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner (conductor)
composed by Johann Sebastian Bach

What is it about volume 26 of John Eliot Gardiner's cycle of the complete Bach cantatas that makes it special? Is it the works? All seven cantatas on this two-disc set have their individual beauties, but the last -- Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte, BWV 174 -- starts with a magnificent Sinfonia based on the opening movement of the Third ...

composed by Giya Kancheli

After his immigration to the west in 1991, Giya Kancheli abandoned the expansive, symphonic approach he had cultivated during his years in Georgia, and opted instead to compose music for smaller, more manageable ensembles. The works on this ECM New Series disc reflect Kancheli's changed course and his simplified, if still wide-ranging, palette. ...

This is part of a series of eight Decca double-disc sets on the theme of "The Voice of" vocal compilations individually relating to such topics as Christmas, Mozart, Romance, the Baroque, and others. Opera would obviously serve as a central point of interest in such an undertaking, and Decca does not disappoint in this respect. Included here are ...
