About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Opera comes to life through the technical command and musical sensitivity of its performers. Almost half a century ago, an American soprano named Maria Callas demonstrated the viability of early-19th-century Italian opera through the genius of her own insight. Today, opera from a century further back is being coaxed before us through the superlative talent of another American, Lorraine Hunt. In these selections from eight operas and oratorios, the genius of Handel becomes something we know not just from musical textbooks but through living, breathing example. Hunt's voice is sometimes a glimmering soprano, sometimes a dusky mezzo, and she always finds unique solutions to Handel's music, almost never failing to surmount its challenges or reveal fresh nuances in even the most familiar pages. Gorgeous and exciting, this disc is essential for lovers of Handel, Baroque music, great singing -- well, anyone, really. Patrick Giles, Barnes & Noble
