Handel: l'Allegro, Il Penseroso Ed Il Moderato

Rachel Redmond, Leo Jemison, Les Arts Florissants, William Christie

A hybrid work between oratorio, ode and serenata, L’Allegro is undoubtedly one of Handel’s most mysterious works, but also his most inspired! With their accustomed poetry, William Christie and Les Arts Florissants offer us the chance to rediscover this masterpiece, in which the composer transforms metaphysics into painting and ideas into pure emotions.

October 2023

Redmond’s dulcet shaping of lines and eloquent communication of poetry ensure that Penseroso’s set pieces are beguiling...Christie serves some marvellous confections.
