The Nine German arias stand apart among Handel's vocal music, for they
are very personal pieces, not just in the contemplative nature of their words
but also in their musical intimacy.The unique lyric soprano voice of Nam Joo Lee is sensitively accompanied by the young German pianist Katharina Roth and colorfully completed with obligate flauto dolce and violin.
The elegant C-minor sonata by the Belgium composer Jean Baptiste Loeillet de Ghnet keeps the program in a feld of tension between vocal and instrumental music.
A delightfu musical evening!
