Boston Phoenix, May 9-15, 2003

The following night (Saturday), the estimable ensemble Sarasa presented the most glorious Handel singing in recent memory. Soprano Dominique Labelle was guest artist in Italian Baroque cantatas by Handel, Allesandro Scarlatti, and Agostino Steffani. She rode the emotions of these lyrical and heroic works, earlier and far more artificial that Theodora, the way an eagle rides the wind. She was in thrilling voice, making the artifice as exciting as possible while revealing the humanity within it. And she made it all seem easy.
