Undoubtedly one of the best versions of these cantatas by Handel. The instrumentally minimalist approach of the accompaniment evokes a chamber concert like the ones Handel himself performed at that time for Cardinals Pietro Ottoboni and Benedetto Pamphili.
Miguel’s voice narrates the story of each cantata, full of light, shadows, roughness, and shimmering like mother-of-pearl shells. But undoubtedly the absolute jewel is the aria “Crede L’uomo” arranged for theorbo and voice, which was also the first oratorio composed by Handel, where Miguel’s voice and the theorbo merge like a piece of the highest goldsmithery.
Without a doubt I think that all lovers of the Baroque and especially of Handel should listen to this album.

How beautiful and historically accurate. Miguel is always working on this field and I can tell with this new project. So excited that his Handel has finally being released!!
