Reviews

‘What a welcome sight it has been for a second disc from Decca’s young Dutch recorder champion Lucie Horsch to cross my desk … the first thing to praise here is that she and Decca waited a couple of years before recording this sequel, because that time and space for her to further develop and mature has reaped its rewards in these interpretations: her technique was always immaculate and her tone lively and clear, but there’s been a clear growth in naturalness and confidence … along with a stylistic variety that has allowed Horsch herself to shine in numerous directions’ (Gramophone)

‘A colourful panorama stylishly and affectionately executed by all concerned’ (BBC Music Magazine)

This busy Sinfonia for two oboes and strings opens the third Act of Handel’s oratorio Solomon (1748) and heralds the arrival of King Solomon’s eagerly awaited guest. In an earlier three-movement version of the piece it closes with a brief Adagio.

Cette sinfonia animée, pour deux hautbois et cordes, introduit le troisième acte de l’oratorio de Haendel, Salomon (1748), et annonce l’arrivée de l’hôte qu’attend impatiemment le roi Salomon. Dans une version antérieure en trois mouvements, ce morceau se termine par un bref adagio.

Diese lebhafte Sinfonia für zwei Oboen und Streichinstrumente eröffnet den dritten Akt von Händels Oratorium Salomo (1748) und kündigt die Ankunft des von König Salomo ungeduldig erwarteten Gastes an. In einer früheren Dreisatzversion des Stückes schließt es mit einem kurzen Adagio.
