Michael Spyres

May 21, 2023

The versatile and virtuosic “baritenor” Michael Spyres takes listeners on a whirlwind tour of Baroque arias by composers including Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and Hasse, with selections in English and French as well as the expected Italian. Expect lively interaction between the soloists and the instrumentalists of the crack period ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, who offer a handsome bouquet of concerti between the vocal selections. Francesco Corti conducts. —Matthew Gurewitsch
