Lisette Oropesa/ Joyce Didonato/ Michael Spyres A.o. |
| | Description: | Five superb singers â?? Lisette Oropesa, Joyce DiDonato, Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, Michael Spyres and John Chest â?? embody the characters in Handelâ??s Theodora under the direction of Maxim Emelyanychev, Chief Conductor of the instrumentalists and choral singers of Il Pomo dâ??Oro.
Handel considered Theodora to be among his best works. An elevated and moving oratorio, it tells the story of Christian martyrs in ancient Antioch under Roman occupation. This recording was made at the end of a 2021 concert tour that visited Vienna, Milan, Paris, Luxembourg and Essen. â??An evening of top-flight singing of a kind that is only rarely experienced,â? was how one German reviewer summed up the performance, while in the French capital it produced â??a state of blissâ?. - LISETTE OROPESA/JOYCE DIDONATO/MICHAEL SPYRES A.O.A Warner Classics/Erato release, ? &© 2022 Parlophone Records Limited
Recorded 26-29.XI.2021, Alfried Krupp Saal, Philharmonie Essen
