A Mezzo for the Ages
12/04/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having heard all the great mezzos of the past 40 years, many of them (Baker, Cossotto, Horne, von Stade, Valentini-Terrani) in person, I can attest that Jennifer Larmore is one of the greatest. Though her voice is not always stunningly beautiful and her technique not completely polished, there is no question that her COMBINATION of voice, technique and interpretive nuance is unsurpassed in the modern era. Agnes Baltsa may be more honeyed of voice, for instance, but she lacks the sheer excitement and joie-de-vivre that Larmore brings to her singing. In these Baroque and Classical numbers, she also displays a deft sense of style fully apropos to the music at hand. She is truly a mezzo for the ages."
Larmore can certainly fly!

"This recording albeit less colorful than her more recent stuff shows the promise that she has delivered to all of us. She is truly a blessing with her mezzo-soprano and her richness is unparalleled by few that I know of."
There is two type of mezzo...

"Today,it's a time of mezzo.Bartoli,Otter,etc.Larmore is
one of the most exellent,of course.
On this Hendel arias,she plays male roles.I think it is
very suitable for her.Probably these roles were played by
castratos.Castoratos need storong and radiant voice,which
Larmore has!I prefer her male roles.She will open new windows
of baroque operas.What she impresses us is not a coquetry.
She belongs to another type of mezzo."
