Kathryn Lewek’s new album: “Handel: Apollo e Dafne & Armida abbandonata”
February 9, 2022
Kathryn Lewek, Winner of the Third and Audience Prizes in Operalia 2013, presents her new album “Handel: Apollo e Dafne & Armida abbandonata” alongside baritone John Chest, with Francesco Corti in the hapsicord and conducting Il Pomo d’Oro Orchestra
“Il pomo d’oro and Francesco Corti present Handel’s Apollo e Dafne and Armida abbandonata, together with two outstanding vocalists: soprano Kathryn Lewek (Armida & Dafne) and baritone John Chest (Apollo). Handel composed these two cantatas shortly after his Italian sojourn (1706-1709), and they demonstrate his acquaintance with and aptitude for Italian operatic music. Compared to opera, supporting roles are left out of these relatively compact cantatas, increasing the focus on the main characters, and heightening the expressive depth of their music.”
