Handel's Neun Deutsche Arien, or Nine German Arias, were written not at the beginning of the composer's career in north Germany, but in the mid-1720s in London, to texts by his friend B.H. Brockes. They are unusual works: not formally, for they follow the established da capo structure of the day, but in the texts and Handel's response to them. They are not easily classified as either sacred or secular, but you might call them sacred arias with secular subject matter. German soprano Marie Friederike Schöder does well to classify them by theme ("morality," nature and its romanticization, quiet desire and love); there was little indication from Handel of which order the pieces should be performed in, and this method fits the slightly didactic tone of the texts and the bracing contrast of that tone with the full flower of Italianate vocal music. Schöder and the Batzdorfer Hofkapelle intersperse instrumental works -- a sonata, and three pieces for musical clock, arranged for two lutes -- among the three sections, and the program is one Handel himself might have recognized, even if one wonders why historical-instrument specialists never get it together to record musical-clock music on the instrument for which it was intended. Schöder has a clear, rather formal voice that fits this music beautifully. She has strong competition in these pieces -- in the 2010s from Britain's Carolyn Sampson, and before that from Arleen Auger -- but less so in the construction of the program and the capturing of the overall mood. Recommended.
