“History’s Lovers”

Telemann: Suite Don Quixote

Handel, Alcina:
Di’ cor mio
Si, son Quella
Dances
Ah, mio cor, schernito sei
Handel, Rodelinda:
Overture
Ritorna o ca
Se’l mio duol non é si forte

Telemann, Orpheus Suite:
Su, mio core, a la vendetta

Telemann and Handel, two giants of Baroque music, met as teenagers. Life separated them thereafter, Handel becoming the key figure in London’s musical life and Telemann remaining in Hamburg after famously turning down the post at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, leaving it to be filled by a certain Johann Sebastian Bach.

Two Telemann suites frame some of Handel’s most beautiful and powerful arias sung by the young Australian/British soprano, Samantha Clarke.
