Le maître de l’aria. Sa voix – “une des plus belles voix de la scène britannique depuis une génération” (International Record Review) – a permis à Elizabeth Watts de s’imposer parmi les meilleurs talents d’aujourd’hui. Elle interprète ici des airs peu connus tirés de cantates, de sérénades et d’opéras d’Alessandro Scarlatti, accompagnés par l’excellent ensemble d’instruments anciens The English Concert, dirigé du clavecin par Laurence Cummings.

Meister der Arie. Mit einer Stimme, die man als “eine der schönsten einer ganzen Generation in England” (International Record Review) bezeichnet hat, profilierte sich Elizabeth Watts als eines der glanzvollsten Talente, die heute tätig sind. Diese Auswahl selten zu hörender Sopran-Arien von Alessandro Scarlatti aus seinen Kantaten, Serenaden und Opern hat sie mit dem erfolgreichen Originalklangensemble The English Concert unter der Leitung von Laurence Cummings eingespielt.
