Review: Handel’s ‘Hercules’ at Carnegie Hall

The New York Times – Music:

At Carnegie Hall, the English Concert made a case for “Hercules” as a strikingly modern dramatic oratorio of psychological and musical depth.

The New York Times – Music:

The church’s urgent and eloquent version of Handel’s classic oratorio remains an inspired communal rite.

The New York Times – Music:

Among the company’s annual summer offerings, Monteverdi’s “L’Orfeo,” from 1607 but newly reorchestrated and imaginatively staged, stands out.

The New York Times – Music:

Muhly has reorchestrated Monteverdi’s foundational “L’Orfeo” for a new production at Santa Fe Opera.

The New York Times – Music:

In “Solomon,” performed elegantly at Carnegie Hall by the English Concert and Clarion Choir under Harry Bicket, the chorus is the star.

The New York Times – Music:

The English Concert’s performance at Carnegie Hall showed off the ensemble’s elastic responsiveness.

The New York Times – Music:

Singers tended to fade into the background in a concert presentation of “Wozzeck” and some productions at the Metropolitan Opera.
