Czech soprano Hana Blazikova is an exciting young voice in Baroque music, regularly appearing in music festivals with top conductors. Viola da gambist Petr Wagner leads the Ensemble Tourbillon in rare and delightful arias. The title 'Vienna 1709' represents those arias from operas and oratorios composed during the first two decades of the 18th century in Vienna especially for the birthdays or name days of members of the imperial family. The album features arias by Fux, Ariosti and Bononcini in which the solo voice enters into a dialogue with one of several violas da gamba. Ensemble Tourbillon, under the direction of the Prague gambist Petr Wagner, supports Hana Blazikova and her clear, angelic soprano voice is capable of both virtuosity and delicate sensitivity. - Accent
