Back from holiday (Burgundy, and
Provence). What to listen to, after two weeks without music?
Serendipity came into play, with Simone Kermes and Maite
Beaumont singing the inevitable Handel opera arias and duets (with Il Complesso
Barocco and Alan Curtis). Handel is very much “welcome back”
music; emotions and intellect are not stretched. It's just lovely
music all over again. Will I ever become tired of listening to Pena
Tiranna? I think not. And Simone Kermes has one of those voices
that sing the words and convey the emotions behind them,
rather than simply mouth beautiful melodies.
