Review

Music in England between Purcell’s death and Handel’s arrival 15 years later remains a black hole except to a handful of specialists. By 1704 the Berliner Johann Christoph Pepusch settled permanently in London, where he was responsible for the composition or compilation of various theatre entertainments; later on he was music director for the first Duke of Chandos (for whom Handel composed several early English masterpieces at around the same time), and he provided music for Gay’s political satire The Beggar’s Opera (1728). Pepusch’s more ambitious works have been somewhat ignored by scholars and performers alike - so hats off to The Harmonious Society of Tickle-Fiddle Gentlemen for this enjoyable account of Venus and Adonis, a masque first performed as an afterpiece at Drury Lane in 1715. The scholar-performer and project director Robert Rawson calls it ‘a full-blooded opera seria in miniature’, and it turns out that the score has several fascinating parallels with Handel’s Acis and Galatea (Cannons, 1718), in which Pepusch might have played violin: a few of its comparable elements are a pair of oboes cascading limpidly over shapely strings and crisp continuo in the fine overture, and sopranino recorder chirrups in Venus’s ‘Chirping warblers’.
Adonis’s jolly hunting song ‘How pleasant is ranging the fields’ is sung blithely by Philippa Hyde, whose florid passages sparkle articulately in ‘Cease your vain teazing’ (an assertive minor-key complaint that could almost pass for Handel in its contrapuntal ritornellos). Venus’s entrance in a chariot is performed with radiant sweetness by Ciara Hendrick (‘Ah! sweet Adonis’), and the goddess’s complaint that Adonis appears uninterested in her charms is an impeccable juxtaposition of imperious authority and pathos (‘Cupid! Cupid! bend thy bow’). The jealous Mars is sung nimbly by Richard Edgar-Wilson at the very bottom of his range; a quarrelsome duet for Venus and Mars is dramatically vivid. The climax is slow creeping music with recorders for Adonis’s death scene (‘O! welcome! gentle death!’) and Venus’s anguished reaction in a turbulent accompanied recitative and aria (‘Arise! black storms and tempests’). If a contest is sought, then Handel (not to mention John Blow) clearly wins - but this excellent recording reveals that Pepusch is a significantly better composer than is normally assumed.

Review

AllMusic Review by Blair Sanderson [-]
The German-born English transplant Johann Christoph Pepusch was an older contemporary and colleague of George Frederick Handel, and he is best remembered for arranging the music of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. His involvement in London's music scene also led him to compose his own works for the stage, such as the masque Venus and Adonis, a vehicle for two of the leading sopranos of the day, Jane Barbier and Margarita de L'Epine. This recording by The Harmonious Society of Tickle-Fiddle Gentlemen, led by Robert Rawson, is a period re-creation of Pepusch's 1715 work, and fans of Handel's buoyant operas will find many stylistic similarities in this performance, from the lively writing for the small but energetic orchestra, and the ornate vocal lines, to the joyous tone of the music. Especially delightful is the cast -- Ciara Hendrick as Venus, Philippa Hyde as Adonis, and Richard Edgar-Wilson as Mars -- who deliver their recitatives and arias with great panache and such clear enunciation that the English-language libretto isn't really necessary for comprehension. The recorded sound by Ramée is transparent and full of presence, so listening feels like front-row seating. Highly recommended for fans of Baroque opera.

Product Description

Johann Christoph Pepuschs English-language masque Venus and Adonis premiered at London s Theatre Royal on 12 March 1715. Inspired by the operas of composers like Giovanni Battista Bononcini and Alessandro Scarlatti, it was the most substantial effort of the period to reconcile Musick to the English Tongue. As part of the battle for supremacy amongst Londons theatres, Pepusch recruited a select Band of the best Masters of Instrumental Musick and two of the citys leading singers, the Italian lady Margarita de LEpine en travesti as Adonis and the contralto Jane Barbier as Venus. The work bristles with Italian virtuosity and dynamism and unlike most English-language dramatic music at the time, Venus and Adonis makes ample use of dramatic recitative. A clear model for Handels later Acis and Galatea, this world-premiere recording of Pepuschs wonderful masque reestablishes the work as a milestone in the history of English opera.
