Carolyn Sampson stellt ihre brillante und von intensiver Lebendigkeit geprägte Stimme ganz in den Dienst von Händels Neun Deutschen Arien. Von dem Hamburger Dichter Barthold Brockes übernahm Händel die stillen, empfindsamen Texte, die nicht in italienischer und nicht (wie Händels spätere Oratorien) in englischer Sprache waren, sondern in seiner deutschen Muttersprache. Drei entzückende Oboensonaten, die Händels Enthusiasmus für die expressiven Fähigkeiten und Farben dieses Instrumentes zeigen, komplettieren diese meisterhafte Aufnahme.
In this enchanting disc, Carolyn Sampson’s ravishing, silvery tones are put to the service of some of Handel’s most joyous and profound music for the solo voice. Handel wrote little for his native tongue, but what he did demonstrates a particular level of contemplative pietism while still employing the familiar techniques of Italian opera. In these nine German arias he set the poems of his contemporary Barthold Heinrich Brockes, and their theme is that the abundant goodness of God is evident in the joy and beauty of His creation. The musical relationships with Handel’s opera arias are evident in the endless ingenuity of his characterization and the expressive, articulate melodies with which the soprano and the violin obbligato create their vivid images. These arias are paired with Handel’s three oboe sonatas—delightful works which demonstrate the composer’s enthusiasm for the instrument’s expressive capabilities and colours.
'Carolyn Sampson, who has a vivacious personality to go with her bright tone and virtuoso technique, sings Handel's melting melodies as if born to them. The open textures of the period-instrument King's Consort could hardly be more attractive, to boot' (Star Ledger, USA)
' … this is essential Handel … Carolyn Sampson sings with great circumspection and understanding of Handel's intentions' (Audiophile Audition, USA)
'Sampson brings undeniable flair to these arias, sometimes endowing them with a beguiling sensuality … Alexandra Bellamy plays with a gentle, relaxed period sound that is very pleasing ' (American Record Guide)
'Carolyn Sampson beautifully expresses inward rapture and outward joy, and she is touchingly wistful in 'Süsser Blumen'. She is nicely matched by the violin of Stéphane-Marie Degand, and the spiky tone of Alexandra Bellamy is an extra pleasure in the three oboe sonatas' (Classic FM Magazine)

Rezensionen
FonoForum 01/08: "Robert King setzt mit guten philologischen und musikalischen Gründen in allen neun Arien eine Geige ein und hat in Stéphanie-Marie Degand eine Gastsolistin gefunden, die hinsichtlich der Ausdrucksvielfalt vorzüglich mit Carolyn Sampson harmoniert. Sampson selbst schöpft den Reichtum dessen, was an Innigkeit, Lebensfreude und Gotteslob in Text und Musik steckt, mit einem strömenden Klang voll aus."- Tracklisting
