Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre return to Handel with a complete recording of his opera Alcina. The title role is interpreted by Magdalena Kožená, who reunites with Les Musiciens and maestro Minkowski after a series of acclaimed baroque recordings. She is joined by an excellent cast of soloists.
This studio recording transports the listener to Alcina’s enchanted island and shows Handel at the peak of his power: the score is dramatic, lush and colorful as well as introspective and profound where the story requires it.
Since 1982 under the baton of its founder and musical director Marc Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre have developed into one of the world’s best period-instrument ensembles, with a vast discography.
