Dorothea Röschmann, soprano
German Arias + Telemann: Quartets in E minor / G major
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
“La musicienne partout triomphe, sans vanité ni effort. Pour varier les plaisirs et chasser l’ennui,
l’ensemble berlinois multiplie les combinaisons : flûte, hautbois, violon et viole d’amour dessus ;
violoncelle, basson, luth, orgue et clavecin dessous.” Diapason, avril 2000.
“Exquisite Singing, poised but full of passion, in Handel’s nine German Arias, interspersed with
two Telemann quartets. Listen to ‘Die ihr aus dunklen Grüften’ and you won’t be able to resist it.”
Gramophone

Admeto, Serse, Giulio Cesare, Radamisto, Rodelinda, Alcina, Alexander’s Feast

“La voix y donne tout ce qu’un falsetto quasi parfait peut donner : timbre pur mais chaud, conduite
solide mais raffinée, articulation élégante : du grand art !” Diapason, avril 1999

The Choir of Clare College
Freiburger Barockorchester
“Pas un silence, pas une modulation, pas une altération n’échappe à l’oeil du lynx. Pour René Jacobs,
rien n’est acquis : avant de répondre, il questionne. Un orchestre décidément fantastique. Une
présentation fastueuse.” Diapason, novembre 2006
“Avoiding the tics that betray most non-English performers, Jacobs and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra
give us an up-to-the minute Messiah – a model of period-instrument style, with ravishing ornaments,
intelligent accents and crystal-clear diction from the mixed-voice Choir of Clare College, Cambridge.
An ideal Christmas stocking-filler”. The Financial Times, November 2006

“David Thomas has a range equal to Handel’s demands. He is an artist of rare taste.”
