PlayingJoyce DiDonato sings Handel: Theodora: "As with rosy steps the morn"
Handel's Theodora is reborn in the sublime recording by Maxim Emelyanychev and Il Pomo d'Oro, starring Lisette Oropesa, Joyce DiDonato, Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, Michael Spyres, and John Chest. Discover: https://w.lnk.to/theodoraLY First performed in 1750, Theodora tells the story of Christian martyrs in ancient Antioch under Roman occupation. Theodora was Handel’s penultimate major work, and he considered it among his best. Soprano Lisette Oropesa takes the role of the noble Theodora, while mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato portrays her friend Irene, a leading light of Antioch’s community of Christians; Didymus, a Roman soldier who loves Theodora, is sung by countertenor Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, and his friend Septimius by tenor Michael Spyres, while baritone John Chest holds sway as the authoritarian Roman governor Valens.

PlayingJoyce DiDonato, Yannick Nézet-Séguin – Schubert: Winterreise: I. Gute Nacht ("Good Night")
For Joyce DiDonato, Schubert’s Winterreise (Winter Journey) is one of "the masterpieces: those holy relics of unparalleled genius that have changed the course of the art form entirely." Discover her retelling of the story from the perspective of the lost love, with pianist Yannick Nézet-Séguin: https://w.lnk.to/winterreiseLY Composed in 1827, the year before Schubert died at the age of just 31, Winterreise is made up of 24 songs, written to texts by Wilhelm Müller. Its story, told in fragments and references rather than structured narrative, is seen through the eyes of a heartbroken young man. Disappointed in love, he makes his way through a desolate, frozen winter landscape. Credit: Warner Classics
