Songs With Same Style Of Mass In B Minor "Agnus Dei" - Andreas Scholl?

I am not looking for classsical music just music that is similar in style like this. I dont know how to explain it something about this song really makes effetcs you emotionally I dont even know latin but theree is just something about this song. Songs with a person singing duet, choral that is a old (classsical music whichh is non-English) What would u consider this style of music? Baroque? ( I am not a music major or classsical enthusiast so I took a stab at it)

Answer:Andreas Scholl is one of the world's finest countertenors, so I recommend you to check out all his othere recordings, includeing "Arias de Senesino". Anorthere wonderful countertenor is Thomas Otten, he's a bit more crossover though but I can wholeheartedly recommend his album "Close To Silence". Bach and Händel have both written lots of cannotatas, passions, Masses and motettes at least, so they have a vast catalogue indeed. Anorthere great composers, though a bit older, are Gregorio Allegri and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.

Has Andreas Scholl Recordered Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga"?

I'm trying to find out if Andreas Scholl has ever recordered the aria "Lascia ch'io pianga" from G. F. Handel's Rinaldo, HWV 7 I've been looking at his discography and can't seem to find a CD that has this title. Has he ever recordered it - and if yes whichh CD?

Answer:It doesn't look like Scholl has recordered anything from Rinaldo, unfortunately.

About Phillippe Jaroussky And Andreas Scholl...?

Are they counter tenors, felsetists or sopranist? (what's the difference?, could you give me an example of each one of this voices?- maybe a youtube link). Thanks. PS: I'm sorry if I made any spelling mistakes. English is not my native langauge. I think I have the right to ask this question as much as I want to while I dont violate any rules. If Im not satisfied with the answer, I'll post it again. If that botheres you, feel free to answer anorthere question, I think I can live without your answers, nobody is forcing you.

Answer:tenors are male singers who sing high, felsetists ( I don't know how to spell it eithere lol) are people who will sing really high and sort of airy. Sopranos are women who sing high. Sorry if this is unhelpful, but from my old choir days this is sort of what I remember.

No more making allowances for countertenors--now the best of the breed have voices as rich and as varied as those of any other range. Exhibit A: Gramophone cover boy Andreas Scholl. Unlike David Daniels and Brian Asawa, who made their splash on the opera stage, Scholl became famous as a concert and oratorio singer. He doesn't sing with Daniels's temperament and fire; along with a certain equanimity, he has a round, pleasing sound and a vibrato that's attractive but never intrusive. For his first operatic recording, Scholl chose his music wisely: rather than tempest arias or bursts of martial fury, he gives us long, beautifully shaped melody in the title aria and the famous "Verdi prati." He's at his delightful best in the "birdsong" and "hunting" arias from Giulio Cesare: the clean coloratura, detailed phrasing, and imaginative embellishment are reminiscent of Emma Kirkby in her prime. The instrumental soloists in those arias (violin and horn, respectively) are equally fine, as is the entire period-instrument orchestra. However, nearly half of the playing time on this disc is instrumental music--that seems rather much for a recording marketed as a showcase for a hot young singer. (The much-recorded concerto grosso "Alexander's Feast" in particular seems superfluous.) With that caveat in mind, this impressive disc won't disappoint. --Matthew Westphal

Jean-Marie Villégier’s stylish production of Rodelinda sets Handel’s tale of royal exile and fidelity in the silent movie era. The composer’s ravishing music is perfectly set off by the sophisticated glamour and visual daring that characterized the birth of cinema. With Anna Caterina Antonacci as Rodelinda, Kurt Streit as Grimoaldo, Umberto Chiummo as Garibaldo, Andreas Scholl as Bertarido. Glyndebourne Festival Opera..

Pergolesi: Stabat Mater /Bonney * Scholl * Les Talens Lyriques * Rousset
Average Rating: 4.5
Price: $14.85
Artist: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
Manufacturer: Decca
UPC: 028946613429
Certainly the somber beauty of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater for soprano, alto, and strings has a lot to do with its popularity. But it must be said that the story of the 26-year-old composer completing the work on his deathbed has always been too romantic for the public--or the music business--to resist. "The instant his death was known," wrote the famous 18th-century traveler Dr. Burney, "all Italy manifested an eager desire to hear and possess his productions." And so it's been ever since. In spite of the competition already on the market, it seems Decca just had to get its prize lyric soprano and hotshot young countertenor together to record the piece.

The result isn't bad as such: Barbara Bonney sings graciously and prettily, though with a sound better suited to Schumann or Strauss (for example, she lets her vibrato smudge the suspended dissonances that make the first movement so effective); Andreas Scholl gives a nicely judged, intelligent performance that would probably seem marvelous in another setting. But I can sense no spark at all: the whole recording feels as though it were made because Decca's marketing department thought it would be a good idea, not because the performers felt strongly about the music in any way. The two settings of the Salve Regina (one for each soloist; both share some material with the Stabat Mater) come off a bit better, but they aren't what you'd buy this disc for. Dedicated fans of Scholl and Bonney probably won't be (too) disappointed, but compared to the exemplary, elegant Gillian Fisher and Michael Chance or the thrilling, often surprising Concerto Italiano, this one is hard to recommend. --Matthew Westphal

Andreas Scholl - Heroes / Norrington
Average Rating: 4.0
Price: $16.98
Artist: George Frideric Handel
Manufacturer: Decca
UPC: 028946619629
The gods of musical commerce are smiling on hot young countertenor Andreas Scholl: this is his second CD of opera arias to appear in less than a month. The previous disc, a selection of Handel arias on Harmonia Mundi, showcased Scholl's considerable strengths: subtle and sensitive phrasing, deft coloratura, and a pure, rounded tone with little of the disembodied hootiness that used to be accepted from countertenors. His first recital disc for Decca gives us a wider range of music (Hasse, Gluck, and Mozart as well as Handel) and a more complete representation of Scholl's singing--vices as well as virtues. Among the former are his top notes (sometimes squealy or poorly tuned) and a Joan Sutherland-like combination of beautiful sound with indistinct diction and lack of temperament. This is particularly damaging in the laments from Rodelinda and Giulio Cesare, which come across as mere pleasant pastorales; the famous "Che farò?" from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice sounds self-satisfied rather than bereft. (To be fair, Roger Norrington's jaunty tempos deserve much of the blame for this.) Scholl also aspirates his coloratura, which will bother some listeners more than others. On the other hand, "Oh, Lord, whose mercies numberless" from Handel's Saul is radiant, and the two arias from early Mozart operas are thrilling. In the end, the disc gives a fair, well-rounded picture of an important young singer. Speaking of pictures, by the way, Decca's photographer deserves plaudits for making this tall, somewhat gawky German with Nana Mouskouri glasses look almost glamorous. --Matthew Westphal
