Our Take

Franz Vitzthum and the L'Orfeo Barockorchester take us on a Baroque journey through the sacred arias of G.F. Handel with their latest album. And let me tell you, it's like stepping into a time machine and being transported to the 18th century - powdered wigs, corsets, and all.

The opening track, "Eternal Source of Light Divine," sets the tone perfectly with Vitzthum's soulful countertenor soaring over the orchestra's lush accompaniment. It's a spine-tingling moment that immediately grabs your attention and doesn't let go.

Throughout the album, Vitzthum's vocal agility is on full display, effortlessly navigating Handel's intricate melodic lines with grace and precision. The L'Orfeo Barockorchester provides the perfect backdrop, with crisp, dynamic playing that brings Handel's music to life in all its glory.

Standout tracks include "Let the Bright Seraphim," with its triumphant trumpet fanfares, and "How Beautiful Are the Feet," a poignant aria that showcases Vitzthum's emotional depth as a performer.

Overall, this album is a masterful showcase of both Vitzthum's vocal talents and the L'Orfeo Barockorchester's impeccable musicianship. So if you're looking for a dose of Baroque beauty in your life, look no further than Franz Vitzthum and the L'Orfeo Barockorchester's stunning rendition of Handel's sacred arias. You won't be disappointed.
