G.F Handel: Brockes-passion
THE RAW AND REALISTIC DRAMA
"The Brocke Passion is a vivid example of Handel's extraordinary ability to musically portray almost any human emotion."
- Lars Ulrik Mortensen
Reviews:
∗∗∗∗∗ "Handel's Brocke Passion 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 what the lyricist B.A. Brockes intended even then: to establish a direct contemporaneity with the suffering of Jesus Christ." (Frankfurter Allgemeine 10.02.2020)
