I am very happy to announce that Ars Lyrica, a Houston based baroque ensemble, has been nominated for Best Opera Recording in the 2011 Grammy Awards for their world-premier recording of "Marc Antonio e Cleopatra" by Johann Adolf Hasse.The music in this opera is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a pity that it is not performed more. I will be performing one of Cleopatra's arias from Hasse's "Marc Antonio e Cleopatra" on my CD, Cleopatra's Voice (available in the spring of 2011).
The other nominees in the category of Best Opera Recording include:
Berg: "Lulu" - Orchestra Of The Royal Opera House
Saariaho: "L'Amour De Loin" - Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin; Rundfunkchor Berlin
Shchedrin: "The Enchanted Wanderer" - Orchestra and Chorus Of The Mariinsky Theatre
Sullivan: "Ivanhoe" - BBC National Orchestra Of Wales; Adrian Partington Singers
and of course...
Hasse: "Marc Antonio e Cleopatra" - Ars Lyrica
The Grammy Awards will air on CBS, February 13.
