For this 2025 Celebrity Recital, Arcangelo and Jonathan Cohen are proud to introduce LHF audiences to one of their favourite solo collaborators, Hungarian soprano Emőke Baráth.

Following her 2011 breakthrough as winner of the Second International Singing Competition for Baroque Opera in Innsbruck, and as winner of the Grand Prix of the Verbier Festival Academy, Baráth has established herself as one of the leading lights of the new generation of Baroque voices, appearing with Il Pomo d’Oro, Europa Galante, Le Concert d’Astrée, Les Arts Florissants, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Concerto Köln, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, and on recordings including the critically-acclaimed Handel recital Dualità (2022), conducted by Philippe Jaroussky.

For this recital programme created especially for the 2025 London Handel Festival, Arcangelo and Baráth offer a captivating triptych of great Handelian heroines, showcasing Handel’s unparalleled ability to write music for the human voice, from the human heart.
