Fra Bernardo presents the whole variety of the musical work of George Frideric Handel on one CD: The harpsichord duo Le Petit Concert Baroque (the sisters Chani & Nadja Lesaulnier) takes us through arrangements into the opera world of Caro Sassone. Heart and pain are sung about. Every now and then we swing our dancing legs or let our soul dangle to well-known melodies from the Water Musick and the Musick for the Royal Fireworks. When Philippe Jaroussky sings the wonderful aria Cara sposa from Handel’s successful London opera Rinaldo at the end, the gates of the seventh heaven seem to open. Born in Aix-en- Provence, the sisters Chani and Nadja Lesaulni- er form Le Petit Concert Baroque. They have been praised by such artists as Gustav Leonhardt, Laurence Cummings and Rene Clemencic. The duo has won various international awards and regularly appear at international festivals throughout Europe. Philippe Jaroussky is an opera and concert singer whose repertoire spans Re- naissance works to contemporary composers. Already his unique countertenor voice has brought to life music by Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Handel, J. C. Bach, Gluck, Faure and more in a series of impeccable recordings.
