Review by Claire Archbold

Tempesta, the album by Handel & Vivaldi, featuring Blandine Staskiewicz, Les Ambassadeurs, and Alexis Kossenko, is a stunning collection of Baroque music that showcases the immense talent of these renowned artists. The album features a range of works from Handel and Vivaldi, including some of their most well-known pieces, as well as some lesser-known gems.

Staskiewicz's vocals are particularly noteworthy, as she effortlessly navigates the complex melodies and intricate harmonies of the Baroque style. Her voice is both powerful and delicate, and she brings a sense of emotional depth to each of the pieces she performs.

The musicians of Les Ambassadeurs provide a perfect accompaniment to Staskiewicz's vocals, with their expertly played instruments adding a rich texture and depth to the music. Kossenko's direction is masterful, and he brings a sense of energy and passion to each of the pieces on the album.

Summary by Claire Archbold
