Seriously incredible Handel.......2005-11-15

If you don't like Handel recitals that come with a lot of hype, be warned that this album comes with a heavy load of uniform critical praise, plus raves and adoration of music aficionados. It may not be selling as well as it should, as there is a law in the music business that declares "Handel album without Ombra Mai Fu shall be treated with utmost suspicion" but just look at the reviews here. In the press, this CD has been called astonishing, amazing, peerless, superb, blah blah blah and also the "best Handel aria recording ever made by a soprano." Hyperbole aside, does it live up to the hype? It doesn't just live up to it, it walks all over it. I have had this album for months, but every time I try to write something about it, I end up listening to it over and over again, instead of writing about it.
Piau's voice is light, perfectly focused, like a bright laser beam, absolutely even from top to bottom and with incredible high notes. Her technique is perfect, same for breath control. Her speed and impossibly precise runs defy laws of nature. But of course just that would not be enough for stellar Handel performance of this calibre; she is also a gifted actress who is able to show dramatic colours in every single aria. There is not a single track here which is not a fascinating study of the character, and her interpretations are varied and very memorable: Berenice, fiery, defiant, Cleopatra in her mournful lament... To fully credit Piau's interpretive gifts, I would have to list every aria on this CD. And she chooses such great pieces, many seldom heard at all, all arranged in an imaginative, stimulating programme.
I usually have a bone to pick with Baroque ornamentations from the current singers, having been brought up on a steady diet of Emma Kirkby, Julianne Baird and Lorraine Hunt, who not only improvise their ornamentations, but do it so brilliantly. Sandrine Piau joins this illustrious club of the Ornamentators Par Excellence; her ornamentations are written in (largely by Rousset) but they are just glorious.
The Les Talens Lyriques orchestra under Christophe Rousset, Piau's frequent collaborator in live performances, plays great, though if I had one tiny complaint about this album, it would be that laws of physic do mar their performance a little bit: Piau's voice can move faster than these period instruments, and she sometimes whizzes by the orchestra very slightly ahead of them, in the fast arias. This is actually most evident in the fireworks of the opening aria, Scoglio d'immota, but that's only because she takes it at such superhuman speed, they have to play for their life just to stay with her.
Last but not least, I actually like the cover of this album, I think Piau looks cool, like a porcelain doll. Not that this album would be any less awe inspiring if it came wrapped in brown sandwich paper. This is some seriously amazing Opera Seria and if you love Handel's music, this album is an absolute must-have.

Stunning Work From One of the Top Handel Interpreters.......2005-02-20

French soprano Sandrine Piau is not as readily known as other Handelians, at least on this side of the pond, but she is certainly among the most gifted of interpreters as she proves on this wonderful recording of opera arias specifically written for the soprano voice. Even though mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson and soprano Renée Fleming have put out superb, higher profile recordings of Handel arias in the past few months, you can still confidently add this one to your collection thanks to Piau's thrilling, expressive vocalism, at once early-music in style with a powerful yet economical use of technique, well-balanced with a wide capacity for accurate coloratura and an immaculate technique sure to please Baroque purists.

Piau displays impeccable taste in her highly personalized program. Instead of going for the more familiar gems like "Ombra mai fú" from "Serse", she has pulled together an anthology of Handelian prime donne that features arias composed over more than two decades. Many are from operas that are relatively obscure but still quite stunning, for example, the defiant "Scoglio d'immota fronte" from "Scipione", the dynamic "Brilla nell' alma un non inteso ancor" from "Alessandro" and the angry, distressed "M'ai resa infelice" from "Deidamia". Even with the better known operas, she choose not the showpieces but the ones that are worthy of rediscovery, such as "Verdi piante, erbette liete" from "Orlando", "Se pieta" from "Giulio Cesare in Egritto", "L'amor ed il destin" from "Partenope" and "Ombre piante, une funeste" from "Rodelinda", in which her painful expressiveness of want certainly gives Fleming a run for her money. Even the order of the program is commendable, as it reflects a wide gamut of emotions that make the recording feel like one cohesive work, even with the variety of characters and dramatic situations and rich vocal demands for which Handel is known. Piau's long-time collaboration with Christophe Rousset, who leads the wondrous and period-authentic playing of Les Talens Lyriques, has produced a seamless rapport that makes this an essential recording. Strongly recommended.

Outstanding!.......2005-02-01

I received this CD a couple of days ago and it has not left my CD player. I was very impressed with her Mozart CD but this one has some fascinating ornamentation and very daring vocal acrobatics. I first heard her in Scipione under Christophe Rousset in 1993 and was very impressed by her contributions. Piau includes the aria "Scoglio d'immota fronte" from Scipione (also on Fleming's Handel disc), this time around showing off her coloratura skills and speed even more than on the complete recording. The rest of the CD is a real treasure of vocal fireworks and beautiful plaintive arias. Highly recommended!

Don't overlook this special gem!.......2005-02-01

It doesn't often happen that a release gets so much unanimous enthusiastic praise from both critics and audiences alike, particularly if the release is from an independent company and the singer is not a heavily promoted "star". But here it is - Sandrine Piau's Handel recital on Naive seems to be outshining many vocal releases of the past year (it was released in 2004) and the reason for this stir is simple: it is a stupendous disc from a great singer who deserves a wider recognition.

Everything is special here, even the cover. In an era when so many solo recitals try to attract us through flashy covers (and often not much more inside), Piau is courageous enough to appear in what may well be one of the most unflattering cover photos ever made. Through this photo, Piau seems to be making a bold statement: "I am not a cover girl, I am an artist".

And what an artist! Every phrase in this recital is delivered with utmost honesty and spectacular technical assurance, nothing is calculated or contrived. What is even more important, every Handelian heroine portrayed here is vividly brought to life. There is not a moment of monotony or routine - the selections cover a variety of moods and allow the artist to display not only her stupendous technique but also phenomenal interpretative gifts.

It is impossible to get tired of Piau's singing! Her voice and singing style should appeal to both camps of opera lovers: devotees of the HIP movement and those who are afraid of HIP because of the stigma of "white, bland voices" that became a trademark of the movement. Piau's voice is small and delicate, but there is nothing "white" or bland about it. It is a gorgeous instrument, flexible and colourful, able to convey a wide range of emotions without resorting to "special effects".

It is of course tempting to compare Piau's recital with the other highly popular Handel discs of 2004 (by Lorraine Hunt, Sarah Connolly, Renee Fleming) but comparisons don't really make much sense here for each of those recitals has its own virtues and each singer her own faithful audience. Yet Piau's disc risks being overlooked in the USA since the French soprano is not quite a household name here (in spite of some marvellous solo recitals in her discography). Let's hope this fantastic new disc will change this. (Kicek)

Superb.......2005-02-15

Superb playing of clever virtuoso arrangements.

I do get sick of screechy virtuoso violin arrangements of famous pieces, but this CD is an exception. The arrangements are lot more interesting musically than usual.

The Gershwin bits in particular work really well.

Sound quality excellent too.

Gil Shaham Is Amazing!.......2002-01-28

I have never before heard a violinist capable of such expression. Shaham really makes the fiddle sing! He is an absolute virtuoso. Up till the time I heard Shaham... Heifetz was my favorite. Shaham outperforms Heifetz by far.

I recently watch "Amadeus". Gil Shaham is Mozart... everyone else is Salieri.

Amazing virtuosity plus great fun........2001-11-12

As an opera fan, I am always a little suspicious of albums that try to instrumentalize opera for the light-classical audience. But that is emphatically not the case here. This is not "1001 Strings" elevator music, but a series of arrangements by classical composers and/or violinists mainly for the purpose of demonstrating the violin's (and the violinist's) capabilities in a short form -- in other words, the kind of thing Heifitz might have played as an encore. I never tire of listening to this CD, which is executed with amazing skill and just the right touch of elan.

Emotion and technique create perfection in this album.......2000-09-23

I can't imagine anyone not enjoying and appreciating the music making on this album! Gil Shaham is an astonishingly accomplished and polished violinist whose ease at playing belies his amazing technique. Each time I listen to this CD, I am impressed by his impeccable tuning, note after note, even on the highest harmonics and most rapid cadenzas. However, even the best technique can not create true music. Shaham truly feels and conveys the emotion of the music he creates, allowing the music to touch the listener's soul. Akira Eguchi, pianist, is also notable in his ability to shine without overshadowing or dominating the solo violin. The selections on this album aren't necessarily compositions intended for violin and piano, but many are "familiar" to the lay listener. For that reason, I suggest this album to just about anyone, including those who aren't avid classical music fans.

SHAHAM IS FINE, BUT--------.......2000-07-11

Gil Shaham's violin playing, accompanied by Akira Eguchi on the piano, is superb, but can anyone tell me why we NEED an album of operatic arias which are "sung" by the violin and not by the voices for which they were written? The photo of Shaham on a bare stage done up in a "Phantom of the Opera" cape & silk scarf lends more cheesiness to this silly venture.
