Anne Sofie von Otter, Orchestre Les Arts florissants, William Christie Chanson à danser Celle qui fait mon tourment . download 0:16. William ChristieChoeurs et Orchestre des Arts FlorissantsAnne Sofie von Otter Handel: Serse, HWV 40, Act 2 Scene 10: Recitativo, Saria lieve ogni dolia Serse. download 1:51. Anne Sofie von Otter launches splendidly this performance with one of the loveliest Ombra mai fu ever recorded. Sandrine Piau is a vixen-like Atalanta, and probably the best on disc so far. Her duet with Zazzo in act three fairly races along in a spectacular display. As Serse, Anne Sophie von Otter has a much fresher sound than she did on Minkowski's Cesare as Sesto - perhaps it has something to do with being in the title role see her Ariodante for Minkowski She treats the classic opening to the opera with due reverance, and carries off the superb faster arias with minimal re-writes in the da capos .

Mezzo soprano Anne-Sofie von Otter portrays the title role along with a stellar cast that includes Sandrine Piau, Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz, and Giovanni Furlanetto. The orchestral complement under Christie is lean and mean, and the zippy pacing of the overall opera leads to a result that does not drag, a noticeable improvement over prior sets of Serse.
