BBC - Classical Review - Andreas Scholl, Arcadia

BBC - Classical Review - Andreas Scholl, Arcadia ()

  „In Bernardo Pasquini's 'Navicella, ove ten vai', a maritime metaphor is employed to warn against the dangers of life's journey even for the rich: beware the angry surge of the sea, which does not spare ships for their wealth. Favourite for me is another Gasparini cantata: 'Ecco, che alfin ritorno' - a faithful shepherd, disappointed in love, returns to the comforting shade of the woods to lick his wounds surrounded by healing nature. These would probably have been performed by castrati, no longer encouraged at court, but Scholl's polished counter-tenor is suitably seductive, his interpretative instincts engaging...the only disturbing moments the rare occasions when he drops into chest-voice at the bottom of his range, and seems to leap forward a couple of metres in the mix.“

  „Even more rarely do they tell you who they are. Hats off to Earl Zinger (and the Red Egyptians) at Wolverhampton Civic Hall last Tuesday night for the opening remarks, 'We're here to warm you up for Zero 7.'Incidentally when was the last time you saw the last two bands in your music collection on the same bill? Thought not.Playing selections from Speaker Stack Commandments (!K7167CD on !K7 records) we were treated to a mix of ska, hip hop and dance/electronica. The four members of the band swapped instruments with ease and constantly reminded us to be warm ready for Zero 7.“
