G.F Handel: Brockes-passion
THE RAW AND REALISTIC DRAMA
"The Brockespassion is a vivid example of Handel's extraordinary ability to musically portray almost any human emotion."
- Lars Ulrik Mortensen
Reviews:
∗∗∗∗∗ "Handel's Brockespassion is an extraordinarily beautiful recording and in the very best hands at Concerto Copenhagen" (Jeppe Rönnow, Magasinet Klassisk, February 2020)
"The recording still succeeds today in what the lyricist B.A. Brockes intended even then: to create a direct contemporaneity with the suffering of Jesus Christ. (Frankfurter Allgemeine 10.02.2020)
