Andreas Scholl DVD 2008 DVD:  ANDREAS SCHOLL - COUNTERTENOR
- a portrait by Uli Aumuller and Hanne Kaisik

The film accompanies the internationally renowned countertenor Andreas Scholl to recitals in Dresden, Schwetzingen and his home town, Kiedrich. In interviews Andreas Scholl sheds light on his personal and artistic development. In bonus parts of the DVD Andreas Scholl sings John Dowland’s “Lute Songs“ and Dietrich Buxtehude’s “Jubilate Domino“. Directly after the recital, Scholl and his co-performers discuss the works and their interpretation of them. “What is the point of a recital, an opera, what is the purpose of music, presented to an audience by performers, communicators? Of course, the purpose of music and art in general, is to enlighten and inspire the human spirit. It is about stimulating – and shaping – both our hearts and our minds.” These and other questions Andreas Scholl wants to find out in this portrait.

Gramophone:  Scholl’s infinitely supple and smooth vocal delivery is a perfect vehicle for this music.  In the Italian Accademia Bizantina he has found a near-ideal group of musicians with whom to collaborate.

Decca 466 917-2 OH

Award: Edison Middle Ages/Renaissance Music

Gramophone: There could hardly be a better collection to show the qualities of Andreas Scholl.

Fanfare: One of those rare recordings beyond any whiff of criticism.  It is, as I said, perfect.

FanfareThe range of emotion Scholl finds within the relatively limited compass of A Musicall Banquet is astonishing.

Gramophone: ...a defining moment in the staging of Handel opera.

Kirk McElhearn: Andreas Scholl brings a brilliant presence to the stage when he sings his first aria in Act I and this continues through to the final scene. His excellent voice is very fitting for Handelian roles and he performs with grace and energy. Scholl and Antonacci together are almost perfect and the third act is sublime.

Gramophone: Scholl does great justice to ... these intimate pieces, attending as much to the spirit and utterance of the texts as to the sorrowful and at times searing inflexions of the music.

Si, si, lasciami

Daliso:


Amarilli:
Si, si, lasciami, ingrata,---
ma pria rendimi il cor.
Sei tu selce spietata
priva di senso e ardor.
Yes, yes, let me go, hard woman,,
But first give me back my heart.
You are a pitiless stone,
Devoid of feeling and passion.

Su, su, restati in pace,
ne più chiedermi amor,
No, non hai tu la face
per accender l'ardor.
Off, off with you, and farewell.
Ask me no more for love.
No, you have not the torch
To kindle love's ardour.
