RECENT CDS HANDEL

ROSSINI Hyperion CDA67570 - £11.00
"An irrestible, affecting work, full of surprises, with tender arias, tremendous fugues… a rainbow of colours" (The Times) Written not for a church, but for performance in the town house of a Parisian Countess, Robert King restores this remarkable ‘old master’ to its original state: stripped back to its original scoring – twelve voices, accompanied by two original pianos and an original French harmonium – Rossini's Petite Messe is stunning. With an outstanding line-up of soloists, TKC’s entry into mid-nineteenth century repertoire on CD could not be more original, nor more distinguished. A new sound world is brought to glorious music. Carolyn Sampson soprano
VIVALDI Hyperion CDA67553 - £11.00
Six superb cello concertos by the great Italian master - and a bonus seventh concerto which is probably not now by Vivaldi at all but is nonetheless well worth hearing! TKC’s brilliant principal cellist Jonathan Cohen is the acclaimed soloist, playing a glorious Italian instrument of 1712. He is joined in the splendid concerto for two cellos by Sarah McMahon. TKC's orchestra brings Vivaldi's ever-varied accompaniments to life, filling them with a plethora of vivid colours and textures. Characterful music, wonderfully played. "Cohen's instrument of 1712 is full of character… the fireworks are spectacular… Vivaldi's melodic invention is boundless. Very delectable". Geoff Brown (The Times) Cello Concerto in G minor RV416 JONATHAN COHEN cello
MONTEVERDI Hyperion CDA67531/2 - £22.00 (2 CDs)
TKC’s highly acclaimed series of the complete sacred music of Monteverdi reaches its high point with a superb double CD recording of the great Vespers of 1610. One of the great pillars of western choral music, Monteverdi's Vespers contains a stunning array of virtuosic solo movements and magisterial choruses, performed here in a sumptuous, large-scale version. The recording also contains the two other substantial works from the publication, a second Magnificat and the fine Missa In illo tempore.
