Handel: Freedom - Oratorio Arias Oscar Verhaar, La Sfera Armoniosa

Freedom is a dominant theme in the English oratorios of Georg Friedrich Handel. These grand works are mostly based on biblical stories that deal with resistance, suppression, captivity and, finally, freedom. Debut album by young countertenor Oscar Verhaar. Oscar selected eight arias drawn from Haendel's English oratorios. Diversified moods and atmospheres and the support of La Sfera Armoniosa baroque orchestra make this disc a constant pleasure to listen to.
