Baroque Chick (and Baroque Chic)

I blogged about it before, 11 years ago in fact: there is rock in baroque. I was thinking about it when I listed to soprano Jeanine de Bique singing L'alma mia fra le tempeste, from Handel's Agrippina. Never seen the opera, but fell in love with this aria right away. It's barock all right. And if there is rock in baroque, it means there's rock chicks and baroque chicks as well. Jeanine de Bique is the latter. In an elegant emerald dress, which makes her performance baroque chic. Did I tell you she was one of my favourite sopranos?

Mozart for Easter

Well, first, happy Easter everyone! How are you celebrating where you are? We are doing various things, but to me Easter is also celebrated musically. I have a complete Easter playlist which I intend to listen to during the day. Including of course y Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He's my go-to composer for Easter. For pretty much every special day, come to think of it. So anyway, I am sharing today the full Exsultate, jubilate sung by Jeanine de Bique, one of my favourite sopranos. It's just perfect for Easter day.
