La Nuova Musica
History's Lovers
David Bates (director) | Samantha Clarke (soprano)
Handel, Alcina:
Di’ cor mio
Si, son Quella
Dances
Ah, mio cor, schernito sei
Handel, Rodelinda:
Overture
Ritorna o ca
Se’l mio duol non é si forte
Telemann, Orpheus Suite:
Su, mio core, a la vendetta
Telemann and Handel, two giants of Baroque music, met as teenagers. Life separated them thereafter, Handel becoming the key figure in London’s musical life and Telemann remaining in Hamburg after famously turning down the post at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, leaving it to be filled by a certain Johann Sebastian Bach.
Two Telemann suites frame some of Handel’s most beautiful and powerful arias sung by the young Australian/British soprano, Samantha Clarke.
La Nuova Musica – founded and led by David Bates – is one of the UK’s foremost baroque and early classical ensembles. It appears regularly at the Wigmore Hall and other prestigious venues internationally.
