Free Music Notes for Handel: Rodelinda

Free Music Review: One of the very best Handel recordings
Hit: 5 Stars

This is a top-notch recording. The three high voices (Daneman, Taylor & Blaze) are absolutely magnificent. They sing with lightness and elegance that, to me, only add to, rather than detract from, the dramatic import of their roles. Amazon's in-house review, incomprehensibly, wishes for a female mezzo in the role of Bertarido, presumably for the sake of some hypothetical benefits the female chest register may provide. It is especially surprising to see a comment like that coming from a self-described baroque "purist" Matthew Westphal. I am firmly convinced that baroque castrato roles should always be taken by countertenors. And when the countertenors are as good as Taylor and Blaze, who can, in good conscience, complain? Daniel Taylor was a real discovery for me. I knew he existed, but I never before heard him sing. I was really thrilled to hear that he sounds like a new David Cordier, only better because Taylor's voice is not only divinely pure but is also more smooth and supple than Cordier's. Robin Blaze as Unulfo only confirmed my impression of him as the finest countertenor of his generation. I would compare him to Dominique Visse, but without Visse's distinctive "snarl" that puts off many people. Sophie Daneman is my kind of soprano, her voice is airy and focused like a piccolo. All three of these soloists show mastery of Handel's music, delivering well-measured emphases in place of bravado which is apparently expected by people like Westphal. In addition to these three soloists, mezzo Catherine Robbin and bass Christopher Purves do a good job as Eduige and Garibaldo respectively. In such a fine company, only the Grimoaldo of Adrian Thompson (who is, however, a perfectly good tenor) is a bit under par. This is definitely one of the most memorable recordings I've heard in a long time. You must hear it for yourself!
