Soprano Cantatas


This is another outstanding entry in Phoenix Edition’s series of 1980s recordings by the Cappella Coloniensis. (See my reviews of Hasse’s Cleofide and music by Haydn elsewhere.) Although by this point I’m past complaining about the booklet space devoted to the cover photographer, it is again a shame that no ink is allotted to any of the singers. Of course, Emma Kirkby is world-famous and probably needs no introduction, yet though I am familiar with the excellent Isabelle Poulenard, I doubt that everyone else is, and I was not previously familiar with Sophie Boulin at all.
