Nathalie Stutzmann & Philippe Jaroussky - Recording Handel duet "Son nata a lagrimar"
Singer(s): Nathalie Stutzmann Philippe JarousskyBuy the album here: Amazon: iTunes:
Nathalie Stutzmann and Philippe Jaroussky sing the famous Cornelia and Sesto duet "Son nata a lagrimar" from Handel's opera Giulio Cesare. Recorded for Nathalie Stutzmann's new album on Warner Classics & Erato "Heroes from the Shadows".
"Heroes from the Shadows" makes stars of the unfairly overlooked roles – from Arsamene to Zenobia – who sing Handel’s hidden operatic jewels: Cornelia from Giulio Cesare (‘Son nata’ in duet with star countertenor Philippe Jaroussky as her guest), Dardano’s stately ‘Pena tiranna’ from Amadigi di Gaula, and the sublime, intimate ‘Senti, bell’idol mio’ sung by Claudio in Silla. Stutzmann conducts her superb musicians playing on Baroque instruments, while singing some of Handel’s most virtuosic arias, all with a rare mastery of both arts – neither one in the shadow of the other.
