HANDEL: FLAMING ROSE
Philadelphia’s baroque orchestra Tempesta di Mare here joins forces with the soprano Julianne Baird for an intimate programme featuring Handel’s nine German arias. The arias are profound and evocative meditations on nature’s beauty as an expression of the divine and together are as close as Handel came to creating a song cycle. Written in London, the arias represent one of Handel’s few creative engagements with his native tongue. The programme also includes two of Handel’s most striking chamber works. This is Tempesta di Mare’s second disc for Chandos, following their recording of lute concerti by Weiss released in 2004.
