Handel Concentus Musicus Wien, Harnoncourt - Belshazzar

rjkmrr

Review by Rajkumar Jegannathan

The album Belshazzar by Handel Concentus Musicus Wien, Harnoncourt is a stunning masterpiece of baroque music. The ensemble, led by conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt, delivers a polished and impassioned performance that captures the essence of Handel's oratorio.

The album features a stellar cast of soloists, including tenor Kurt Streit, soprano Dorothea Röschmann, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley. Their powerful and emotive performances are complemented by the rich and vibrant sound of the orchestra, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

The album's standout moments include the hauntingly beautiful "Behold, by Persia's hero made," the thrilling "Let festal joy triumphant reign," and the poignant "Oh gracious God, oh bounteous fate." Throughout the album, Handel's intricate melodies and harmonies are expertly brought to life by the musicians of the Handel Concentus Musicus Wien.
