5.0 out of 5 stars Feisty baroque recital
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021
Nathalie Stutzmann has been taking up the role of director seriously in recent years, but she still has a fabulous contralto voice. She puts both of these assets to brilliant use in this recital of baroque opera arias and instrumental pieces. The richness and expressive agility of that voice are heard at their best in these well-chosen arias, interspersed with a handful of overture- and sinfonia-style works for textural variety. Composers represented are Handel, Vivaldi, Porpora, Lotti, Caldara, Giovanni Bononcini, and the (to me at least) unfamiliar Francesco Gasparini.

Several of the arias selected were composed for castrato - the voice which, as is well argued in the booklet essay, was the nearest equivalent to today’s contralto. We hear a characterful sequence of pieces well-contrasted in pace and texture, with a predominance of drama, fury, agitation, distress, fear and betrayal – emotions which Stutzmann’s powerful and distinctive tones are well suited to express. They’re delivered with terrific energy by Stutzmann, who also directs the stylish, pointed playing of the Orfeo 55 period-instrument band. There are some especially fine woodwind contributions in several pieces, and a beautifully played cello solo from Alice Coquart to accompany the singer in Vivaldi’s ‘Di verde ulivo’ from ‘Tito Manlio’ (track 5).

Recorded sound is excellent, the booklet essay is interesting and relevant, and texts and translations are provided. All in all, this entertaining programme is bound to appeal to fans both of the singer and of baroque vocal music in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stutzmann at her best.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2021

I have been playing this CD all the time since I bought it in January. Nathalie Stutzmann sings and conducts baroque arias which she obviously loves. Handel, Vivaldi and other lesser known composers of arias for contemporary contraltos, not for counter tenors or castrati. This is the result of some considerable historical research and the accompanying booklet is a treasure. Many arias are full of energy, some others are very tender. The singer is very precise both in notes and in pronunciation, the orchestra of contemporary instruments is full of enthusiasm. Recommended for anyone who loves the baroque and the contralto voice.
