Our Take

Italian mezzo-soprano Guiseppina Bridelli takes us on a wild musical ride with her latest album "Porpora / Handel: Duel - Porpora And Handel In London." Joined by the talented musicians of Le Concert de L'Hostel Dieu under the direction of Franck-Emmanuel Comte, this album is a fiery showdown between two Baroque giants.

From the first notes of Porpora's "Arias from Semiramide riconosciuta" to Handel's "Arias from Ariodante," Bridelli showcases her impressive vocal range and emotional depth. Her voice soars effortlessly over the lush orchestrations, bringing new life to these centuries-old compositions.

Comte's direction is masterful, leading the ensemble with precision and passion. The musicians of Le Concert de L'Hostel Dieu breathe fresh energy into these well-known pieces, creating a vibrant and dynamic sound that is sure to captivate listeners.

Standout tracks include Porpora's "Vo solcando un mar crudele," where Bridelli's expressive phrasing and rich tone shine, and Handel's "Scherza infida," a heartbreaking lament delivered with raw emotion.

Overall, "Porpora / Handel: Duel" is a must-listen for fans of Baroque music and vocal enthusiasts alike. Bridelli and her collaborators have crafted a compelling and engaging album that pays homage to the masters while adding their own unique flair. Get ready to be swept away by the duel of Porpora and Handel in London.
