Handel arias / Karina Gauvin

卡麗娜高芬是當今加拿大最知名的女高音之一,曾奪得無數的唱片大獎以及音樂大賞,與許多唱片大廠所錄製的全曲歌劇也經常是各大樂評以及音樂獎項極力推薦的佳作.卡麗娜高芬為ATMA唱片公司的專屬藝人,已發行過許多張的個人專輯,而每當ATMA有需要女高音獨唱的重點發行企畫時,卡麗娜高芬也經常是首選的歌手,例如馬勒第四號交響曲(以ACD-22306發行),莫札特安魂曲(以ACD-22722發行)都是最為暢銷的發行.

本專輯是卡麗娜高芬演唱韓德爾的詠嘆調的第一張專輯,此發行贏得了Opus Prize Winner頒發的年度最佳唱片獎項,卡麗娜高芬的代表作之一.也因為這份發行的成功,之後卡麗娜高芬又再度錄製了一張韓德爾專輯(以ACD-22648發行),同樣精彩萬分
