Movie Reviews of Handel - Agrippina
Movie Review: playing with zeal
Summary: 5 Stars
For the appreciation of art two attitudes are essential: an open mind and a personal judgement. When I saw this DVD for the first time I was flabbergasted. Playing young Handel like this is wonderful. I don't bother whether countertenors are replaces by tenors. All the singers do en excellent job. And the conductor Jan Willem de Vriend eaquals William Christie and Marc Minkowski. At the end of the opera I felt happy and full of joy. That of course is the power of Handel and the enthusiasm of the Vriend and his chamber orchestra. The staging was modern and adequate. It was a good idea of de Vriend to place the orchestra and the stage on the same level in order to enhance the dialogue between individual members of the orchestra and the singers. This opera interpretation is outstanding. Highly recommended.
