ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: arias & scenes for tenor - 2008 star Classic CD Mag. 'BBC Music Magazine 2008 Awards Nomination - the Jury says : Handel was one of the first Baroque composers to invest his talents heavily in the tenor voice, and here this unique English legacy is powerfully recalled. Through his shading, dynamic range and commitment to the text, Padmore seduces the listener. The band’s crisp and intelligent playing inspire the tenor, whose powerful rhetoric unleashes the vigour of this repertory.' - May-2007 5 star BBC Music Mag. - May-2007 Gramophone Editor's Choice 'a thoughtful original and sympathetic insight into Handel'
