Review & Description
In conjunction with the Orchestra s 30th Anniversary Season, Music Director Nicholas McGegan and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra announce the launch of the ensemble s own recording label, Philharmonia Baroque Productions. The label s début release showcases the late Lorraine Hunt Lieberson in a live 1995 recording of Berlioz s Les Nuits d été and a live 1991 recording of arias from Handel s Giulio Cesare, Ottone, Arianna, Radamisto, and Agrippina. Hunt Lieberson had a long and fruitful relationship with McGegan and Philharmonia Baroque. The Berlioz is the last of seven acclaimed recordings she made with the orchestra and the first time she ever sang the full Berlioz song cycle in performance. Lorraine was in her element, and the result was splendid. These incredibly moving performances are now available to a wide audience for the first time.
