Included are reside performances of scads of Handel, together with music by JS Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, and Terradellas.
John Yohalem not too long ago wrote about this soprano’s Boston Early Music Pageant return within the title function of Reinhard Keiser’s Die römische Unruhe, od Hader Die edelmütige Octavia. I heard a later efficiency in addition to her contribution to a beautiful 17th century Italian “biggest hits” late-night live performance there. In 2019 she participated in BEMF’s manufacturing of Steffani’s Orlando Generoso.
The identical yr—2011—that Baráth gained the Worldwide Singing Competitors for Baroque Opera “Pietro Antonio Cesti” on the Innsbruck Pageant, I heard her subsequent first main worldwide look as Sesto in Giulio Cesare carried out by Alan Curtis who grew to become her early champion. The Sesto was then recorded and have become the primary of a large variety of glorious CDs that Baráth has launched.
Since then, her U.S. appearances have been few, however I’ve collected alongside the way in which many broadcasts, largely of 18th century music, some (!) of which I’m together with at present.
I’m very keen on her pair of solo CDs on Erato: Voglio Cantar, her Barbara Strozzi assortment, and Dualità which pairs Handel arias written for male characters with these for feminine ones.
She additionally seems in a number of BEMF CD releases together with Steffani’s Duets of Love and Ardour (are there another variety?) and within the title function of Handel’s Almira, the composer’s solely surviving German opera.
She may also be heard and seen in Il Boemo, the biographical movie about Czech composer Josef Mysliveček.
In August, Alpha will launch yet one more Baráth Cleopatra on a 3-CD set of Giacomelli’s Cesare in Egitto from final yr’s Innsbruck Pageant.
I apologize for the unfinished particulars beneath. I not too long ago misplaced an vital “cache” of such info, however I’ve executed my greatest to fill within the blanks.
