Enchanted Forest - Arias by Vivaldi, Handel, Purcell, Cavalli / Anna Prohaska, soprano

Notes & Reviews:

The Times, 16th March 2013
Superlative backing from Jonathan Cohen's instrumental group Arcangelo. In a programme ranging from Monteverdi to Handel the plus points are delicate tone, exuberant ornamentation and echo effects in a wonderful Cavalli aria. But her English consonants don't have enough bite in Purcell and her mannered glissandi need ruthless suppression.

Notes & Reviews:

Recording information: St John at Hackney Church, London; All Hallows' Church, (04/2012/09/2012).
