“In Tempesta di Mare’s program, you glimpsed Handel in one of his few creative outings with his native language. And with musicians like those in this Philadelphia-based baroque orchestra, not to mention soprano Julianne Baird, you’re going to be able to hear the difference of Handel in his most comfortable zone. All elements, vocal and instrumental, had a particularly sublime convergence in “Süsse Stille, sanfte Quelle.” Is it possible to convey how magical the experience was?” Philadelphia Inquirer, March 21, 2006.
