Hasse - Cleofide Kirkby, Mellon, Wong, Ragin, Visse, Cordier, Cappella Coloniensis, Christie

Tienda While Handel went to England to become the most successful opera composer of his time, Hasse went to Dresden to become the most famous opera composer in Germany. Cleofide, like Handel's Poros, is based on Metastasio's libretto about Alexander the Great's magnanimity, but focuses more on the Indian queen Cleofide and her fidelity to her lover Poros, despite his jealousy. The cast in this recording includes one male and two female sopranos plus three countertenors; and the unfortunate result of all those high voices is that it is hard to tell the characters apart. The men (apart from the incisive Dominique Visse as Alexander) do a fair amount of falsetto hooting at uncertain pitches; the women are much better, and the ubiquitous Emma Kirkby (as Cleofide) brings more color into her voice than usual. Under William Christie's knowledgeable direction, everything moves along briskly and the orchestra plays brightly. Hasse didn't have Handel's gift for melody and characterization, but Cleofide is well written and imaginatively orchestrated and contains many good tunes. It will be of particular interest to Baroque opera enthusiasts; for others, it is an interesting and attractive curiosity. Good notes and excellent sound. --Alex Morin
