Baroque Arias For Counter-Tenor / Yoshikazu Mera

The first time I heard Yoshikazu Mera perform was at the “Tochigi Kuranomachi Music Festival” when he was just starting out. It was a concert featuring only early Italian Baroque music such as Monteverdi and Caccini, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with his wonderful expressiveness. On this CD, Mera recorded mainly arias by by Bach and other German composers, backed by accompaniment of Bach Collegium Japan. I also have a CD of Mera recording only Japanese songs. These are the valuable recording from his mature period. #baroque #bach #handel #片山俊幸
