Paul McCreeshAbout
Rolando Villazón with the Gabrieli Players and their maestro Paul McCreesh – a Gramophone award winner for his Haydn 'Creation' in 2008 – energize an all-Italian Handel aria program that opens the door for Villazon fans into the marvels of the Baroque repertoire. Had Handel known and composed for Rolando’s voice, Villazón’s ardent tenor could not more perfectly realize Handel’s grand, melodic style.
All admirers of the tenor voice – not just Rolando Villazón’s numerous fans – will be swept off their feet into a love affair with his heartfelt Handel.
