Arc

On ARC, American countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo performs works of baroque master G. F. Handel and minimalist 20/21st century composer Philip Glass, all played by the orchestra Les Violons du Roy and conducted by music director Jonathan Cohen. Anchored by Costanzo's alternatingly powerful and sweet sound, ARC is a startlingly original work that weaves together the twin threads of Costanzo's artistic life, while putting familiar works in a novel context that allows listeners to hear them anew.
