韓德爾: 愛之陰影(歌劇詠嘆調) 安娜·卡西安 女高音 歐菲莉．蓋雅爾 大提琴伴奏 / Anna Kasyan / Handel: Shades of Love

Composed during his Italian stay at the beginning of the 18th century, Handel's cantatas, interpreted by the soprano Anna Kasyan, draw a nuanced picture of opera heroin's heart.

At this time, women were not often allowed to appear in front of an audience. However, the Italian prima donna Margherita Durastanti, one of the few professional female singers of the period, delighted listeners with her brilliant interpretations of Handel's cantatas. Besides, their librettos favor female characters such as Lucrezia, and describe the dilemma of love against duty.
It's now up to Anna Kasyan to express the multiple shades of a woman's emotional life in this theatrical and virtuoso program. Crowned at the Vincenzo Bellini Belcanto Competition, she shows great technique in the ornamentation, and polishes the phrasing at the nearest of the text and affects.
