Lucy Crowe, soprano
The English Concert / Harry Bicket, conductor

Recorded: 08/2010

Soprano Lucy Crowe joins The English Concert led by Harry Bicket in this dazzling programme of Handel arias and cantatas dating from his 1706-10 sojourn in Italy, where he was affectionately dubbed 'the dear Saxon'.

Second in the 2005 Kathleen Ferrier and a Wigmore Young Artist, Lucy Lucy Crowe made her debuts with Scottish Opera as Sophie in 'Der Rosenkavalier' and ENO as Poppea in 'Agrippina', both to great critical acclaim.

"Her dramatic and emotional powers. . . are remarkable. In comedy or tragedy she reaches the heart of the music." The Times "One of the most accomplished Handel singers around, the voice a thing of great beauty, freshness and purity, the technique so secure that the most difficult coloratura gymnastics were like child's play." The Chicago Tribune (concert review) "Lucy Crowe dazzles with her every appearance, a young singer blessed with look -at -me- and -listen charisma." The Sunday Times.
