This much-awaited recording, for which Canadian singers Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Karina Gauvin perform some of the most beautiful arias composed by Handel, showcases outstanding and conniving talent. This project was born from a collaboration with Alan Curtis and his Complesso Barocco, one
of the most famous and renowned ensembles in the baroque music field. The 15 arias, performed in solo or in duet, are jewels from nine oratorios that use material from the Bible. They provide a large overview of Handel’s genius to depict each emotion, from tenderness to fury.
