Product Description
From Amazon.com
Handel's first oratorio (a sacred opera seria, really) is loaded with goodies that excite musicians and audiences alike: glittering coloratura spectaculars, showy boasts for Lucifer, grave laments, sweet elegies, plenty of pictorial instrumental effects, and the tuneful, emotionally complex, central role of Mary Magdalene. Marc Minkowski and his forces have stiff competition, especially from Christopher Hogwood's old L'Oiseau-Lyre recording (grab that if it's reissued), featuring Kirkby and Kwella at their very best. Unfortunately, while Smith is unlistenable as Magdalene--she is way past her prime--everyone else is stunning. Massis as the Angel is Kirkby's equal; Maguire and Naouri fill their music with skill and passion; Ainsley makes the potentially sleepy role of St. John mouth-wateringly beautiful. The performance isn't flawless, but it's extraordinary--buy it. --Matthew Westphal
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
La brillance, la virtuosité et l'esprit dominent cette version de La Resurrezione, le premier oratorio composé par Haendel. Avec une folle tenue rythmique et une passion pour la mise en valeur des timbres des Musiciens du Louvre, Minkowski impose un modèle de légèreté dans une oeuvre particulièrement difficile. Soulignons qu'il est largement aidé par un plateau vocal très homogène, les voix d'Annick Massis, de Jennifer Smith, de Linda Maguire, de John Mark Ainsley et de Laurent Naouri mettant en avant des rôles nés des enfers et du paradis. Tout cet univers en mouvement (et quelle organisation de l'univers !) est emporté par la fièvre de Minkowski, une tension jubilatoire et passionnelle qui transfigure l'oeuvre. L'impression de spontanéité et de chaleur que l'on retire de cette écoute vient de ce qu'aucune des composantes de l'interprétation (orchestre, soliste, choeur) n'est mise en avant au détriment des deux autres. Une lecture aussi réussie domine dorénavant la discographie. --Pierre Graveleau

Brilliant performance
July 31 2000
Format:Audio CD
After reading a rather negative review of this recording, I just had to post another review saying that in my opinion this is one of the best Handel recordings on the market - the singers are excellent, especially Jennifer Smith and Linda Maguire and Minkowski's conducting is absolutely brilliant. The structure of the work is like that of an opera seria (including the da capo arias) - so if you are a fan of baroque opera, this one is an absolute must!

Awesome and amazing perfomance and recording
Aug 15 2004
Format:Audio CD
This Haendel's Oratorio or sacred opera is absolutely a must for all baroque fans, and specially in this superb Mark Minkowski version. If you own a good hi-fi audio system you will perhaps find it as the perfect recording: tremendous soundstage, amazing natural and real presentation of all singers and instruments, perfect tonal balance, ......... almost unbeliavle.
The version itself is very warm, full of virtuosism by all singers and the orchestra. A true and superior musical enjoyment experience.
