Following their acclaimed recording of Handel’s Rodelinda (BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Month, Gramophone Editor’s Choice), The English Concert and Harry Bicket continue their Handel series with a superb soloist line-up including Sophie Bevan, Iestyn Davies, Ashley Riches, Hugo Hymas and Lucy Crowe. Starting with an unusual verbal altercation between an Angel and Lucifer, Handel’s La Resurrezione is an extraordinary retelling of the three days between Christ’s death and resurrection which is unlike any other Passion or Oratorio. This journey centres around women, Mary Magdalene and Mary Cleophas, in a way that seems very modern, and which mirrors the ambiguities of their feelings in music that is completely original in concept and orchestration. The journey from grief, through hope, to love is wonderfully depicted. The message seems to be that grief is the price we pay for love; and that should be part of the narrative of our lives, not the defining moment.
This recording would have been entirely impossibly without the incredible generosity of many individuals and trusts and foundations, including The English Concert in America, Foyle Foundation, Golden Bottle Trust, @Continuo Foundation, Here for Culture (DCMS / Arts Council England), Howard and Sarah D. Solomon Foundation, Kathleen Hannay Memorial Charity, The KT Wong Foundation, Reed Foundation (The Big Give 2020), Robert Fleming Hannay Memorial Charity and the
Sir John Fisher Foundation. Thank you to all of you for enabling our ambition to bring this stunning music to life!
