Mimi asked about Andreas Scholl recordings other than the recent Herreweghe St. Matthew Passion. Scholl has recorded frequently over the past few years. I'm familiar with and highly recommend another St. Matthew Passion on Channel Classics, a fairly new Decca release named "Heroes" where he sings Handel, Hasse, Gluck, and Mozart, his last Harmonia Mundi release devoted to Handel arias, German Baroque arias on Harmonia Mundi, Graun's Cleopatra on HM, Cladara's Maddelena on HM, McCreesh's Solomon on Archiv, Herreweghe's Mass in B minor on HM, Coin's Bach cantatas on Astree, and a few Herreweghe Bach cantata discs on HM. Scholl has also recorded Vivaldi, Schutz, Monteverdi, and is one of the "Three Countertenors" on the same named disc. I agree with Mimi that Scholl is a vocal treasure. I think he's about the best countertenor currently performing and always adds measureably to my enjoyment of a baroque work. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
