RECORDINGS
"The Italian Handel: At a time when vast recording surveys are rather going out of fashion and artists are starting to commit themselves to making personal selections from with the areas of music that they feel most connected – an obvious exception being that of the four (yes, 4!) cycles of Bach cantatas which are currently underway – Glossa has identified, in small and select surveys of a part of the work of a composer, a new way of engaging all the creative ideas involved. Thus, to the Monteverdi and Gesualdo editions is now added a collection which will bring together all of the Italian cantatas by Handel, which we will record and release in chronological order. Singers such as Roberta Invernizzi, Emanuela Galli, Gloria Banditelli and Nuria Rial will lend their marvellous vocal artistry to this project, one led by Fabio Bonzzioni directing his group, La Risonanza. The first volume will appear in the spring of 2006."
La Risonanza will perform and record all of the cantatas with instrumental accompaniment (about one-third of the total cantatas). A total of 9 CDs are anticipated. It is anticipated that the final volume will be released in 2009.
