About

'Handel Arias' is Karina Gauvin’s fifth recording for Atma and features arias from Handel’s London oratorios, including Messiah, Semele, Samson, Jephta and Solomon, among others. Also included is the gorgeous aria, “Lascia ch’io pianga” from the opera Rinaldo.

She is joined by conductor/harpsichordist Alexander Weimann and his newly-formed ensemble Tempo Rubato.

Karina Gauvin’s unique voice, remarkable technique and accomplished musicianship have charmed audiences worldwide, from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden to the Lincoln Center in New York.

In recent years, German harpsichordist Alexander Weimann has emerged as one of the most sought-after ensemble directors and soloists of his generation.

“Her glinting soprano, bright-edged yet deliciously rounded and sensual, is used with rare
understanding for character……The highlight is the Queen of Sheba’s Will the Sun Forget to Streak,
fabulously sung…….”
The Sunday Times, 1st February 2009
