William Hayes - The Passions, An Ode for Music


23 tracks -MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 128 Mb

Handel casts such a shadow over the English baroque that his contemporaries rarely measure up to him: here, though, is a real competitor. Oxford professor William Hayes wrote this delightful "Ode for Music" to a flamboyant text by William Collins, with characters including Cheerfulness, Fear, Anger, and Jealousy (whom you could perhaps match to the new cabinet) in 1750. Although the score is full of Handelian resonances, it has a real character of its own and manages to be both smoothly lyrical and wildly pictorial, performed with splendid sprightliness by forces from Basel under early music veteran Anthony Rooley.

Marijana Mijanovic - Affetti Barocchi


17 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 90Mb


DepositFiles - FileFactory


Of the seventeen tracks, Mijanovic sings only nine, all from the repertory Handel wrote for Senesino (since Andreas scholl already has an album out called “Arias for Senesino”, the legendary castrato doesn’t appear in name on the cover). The rest of the album is orchestral music from the featured operas. It’s lovely, for sure, but if you want Mijanovic, you do want Mijanovic, and no orchestra suites, even if wonderfully played. What Mijanovic sings, however, she does sing marvellously, including “Ah, stigie larve” from Händel’s “Orlando” and “Se in fiorito prato” from “Giulio Cesare”. (continue here)
