has anyone ever recorded this cantata using a high pitched hautboy avoiding all those nasty sharps and making the intro actually sound like a trumpet call? Haim isn't this wimpy, who the hell did she get to play the hautboy line? The ornaments are great though so I can't be that disgruntled. Oh, if any hautboyists out there are reading this do us all a favor and play your F#'s as 123 4 and 7...123 56 sounds like shit and you can't messa di voce on it plus that's a Gb fingering anyway.

Yes, there is an orchestra based in The Netherlands which is starting recording all the Roman repertoire of Handel with strings in 392 and winds in 440, as it was originally performed.
The oratorio "La Resurrezione", which is the first CD of this long serie, will be released soon and the complete cantatas by Handel will follow. All with the high pitched hautboy and low pitched strings!
Sounds exciting! Looking forward to have these recordings!

"hautboy" is english. the modern word "oboe" comes from the italian word of the same spelling but refers to an instrument with individual holes/keys for each chromatic note of the scale. historical oboes are NOT oboes but hautboys and only truly became oboes as we know them today after the aesthetic revolution (around 1800).
p.s. Haim often chooses bad singers which is surprising because she was a singer herself. When she does get intelligent singers, however, it sounds fan-fuckin'-tastic.

well, aren't you just a spring of ever flowing knowledge? :D
and hautbois is french french oui? haut=high and bois=wood. the wood here referring to woodwind. or some such. I'm not a musicologist...
merci mdme!

what's with the woman in the beginning of the clip? is she a descendent of Händel?

She is Natalie Dessay, the soprano who sings in this work -- this video is the first in a series of five. Listen to the rest, she has a lovely voice.
