This album wasn't a sure bet, since Haïm didnt use plain voices for the recording, as for the repertoire is intended. In its place, she uses the voices from 19th century opera well known singers as are Villazón and Ciofi, in fact, for this recording Villazón was completely new about baroque affairs, it is perhaps this fact that gives another touch specifically to "Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda" where his declamatory is just exceptional (of course his singing too), while Ciofi impregnates with great sentiment the beautiful lament-song "Ohimé ch'io cado, ohimé". Lehtipuu's career spans various perios of music, including baroque, nonetheless his voice never quits being operatic.
At the end this recording overpassed my expectations because I naively thought this could'nt be a so serious baroque interpretation, but it was, at least from a different point of view.
Enjoy :)
