Info for Handel's Tea Time
Auf ihrem neuen Album präsentiert die herausragende Barocksopranistin zusammen mit dem Schweizer Alte Musik-Ensemble »Die Freitagsakademie« Werke für Sopran und Kammermusik von Georg Friedrich Händel. »Händel’s Tea Time« vereint die beiden Kantaten »Venus & Adonis« und »Mi palpita il cor« mit Instrumentalwerken sowie Ausschnitten aus den »24 English Songs« sowie den »9 Deutschen Arien«. Die Kantaten bilden prächtige Beispiele für Händels musikalische, die menschliche Gesangsstimme feiernde Ausdruckskunst. Bei der Kantate »Venus & Adonis« HWV 85 handelt es sich wahrscheinlich um Händels erste Komposition in englischer Sprache. Die Kantate »Mi palpita il cor« HWV 132b entstand dagegen zwar in Italien, doch Händel überarbeitete sie in seiner Londoner Zeit. Auch in der Vokalmusik fand Händel Zeit für intimere Gattungen und Ausdrucksformen jenseits der grandiosen Arien und Chöre. So entstanden über die Jahre die »24 English Songs« sowie »9 Deutschen Arien«. Abgerundet wird das Programm von einem »Concerto a quattro« sowie einer Trio-Sonate für Oboe und Streicher. Zudem lassen die »Air und Five Variations« für Cembalo erahnen, was für ein unglaublicher Tastenvirtuose Händel gewesen sein muss. Als Hommage an Henry Purcell, der vor Händel aus London eine Opernmetropole gemacht hatte, erklingt zum Schluss des Albums eine Arie aus dessen Semi-Oper »The Fairy Queen«.
