The Neun deutsche Arien, or Nine German Arias, heard here are not youthful works of Handel, as might be supposed from the German language, but works in a special category. They were composed in the mid-1720s. Annotator Christine Martin compares them to the composer's Italian opera arias with the virtuosic coloratura passages stripped out, which is accurate enough since they certainly reflect the expressive world of opera. But they have a different flavor, both musically and textually. The texts of the arias are by Hamburg poet Barthold Heinrich Brockes, with whom Handel continued to keep in touch after leaving Germany, and whose rendition of the Passion story Handel, as well as various other composers, had already set. They're poems that lie in a space between sacred and secular, exalting natural phenomena as demonstrations of divine glory. Handel's settings have the warmth that appears in his later works, and they feel quite unlike opera arias. They're full of programmatic details, sometimes suggesting a Baroque counterpart to Haydn's Die Jahreszeiten. Vocally they reside mostly in the mid-range, which is a challenge for the singer involved. German soprano Monika Mauch does not have a big sound in this range, but she's very appealing, and her graceful, quiet readings seem appropriate to the meditative qualities of the music. These weren't written for the big public events off of which Handel made a living, and in Mauch's performance it's easy to imagine them being sung for a small group of connoisseurs. The program is rounded out by a setting of three similar works with both music and text by Johann Mattheson, the famed theorist. These are shorter than the Handel pieces and much less effective; they may end the disc on a down note, but with their absence of Handelian virtues they may help the listener get a grip on Handel's subtle pieces. With sensitive accompaniment from the veteran historical-instrument group L'Arpa Festante and fine engineering from the Carus label, this album deserves a place on a Handel shelf or hard drive partition. All notes and texts are given in English, French, and German.
