Il 19 maggio 2018, giorno delle attese nozze tra Meghan Markle e il principe Harry, secondogenito della mai dimenticata lady Diana, segna una data storica per la casa reale inglese. Perché in un colpo solo crollano tutti i taciti requisiti da tempo immemore richiesti a una sposa reale: vergine, aristocratica, protestante, anglosassone e bianca. Con una madre discendente di schiavi e un matrimonio fallito alle spalle, Meghan è anche la prima americana divorziata di colore a diventare duchessa reale. Una storia d'amore che fa sognare, pronta a superare in interesse quella tra Kate Middleton e l'erede al trono William, fratello di Harry. Dall'appuntamento al buio, organizzato da un'amica, il loro rapporto non ha fatto che crescere, e la curiosità intorno all'attrice hollywoodiana della serie Suits è esplosa..
Nicholas McGegan, Concerto Köln - George Frideric Handel: Rinaldo (2004)

Diana Moore lends her youth and tight vibrato to Rinaldo; a greater vocal presence should come with the experience. Cyndia Sieden is an ideal Almirena, as well as Dominique Labelle in the often poorly served and yet essential role of the magician Armida. Andnew Foster-Williams and Cecile van de Sant excel and carry Argante and Goffredo to a rare level of emotion for one and dramatic consistency for the other. The counter-tenor Chnistophe Dumaux is a perfect Eustazio. Finally, under the lively, dramatic and witty direction of Nicholas McGegan, the Concerto Köln is simply phenomenal.

This recording has plenty to recommend it, despite the star power of its competition. The Aradia Ensemble–17 string players, 11 wind and brass players and four continuo players–are a lively, more-than-proficient group of period instrumentalists who, under Kevin Mallon, play the heck out of Handel's colorful, ever-changing score, and can be compared with the finest ensembles around. The obbligato oboist, harpsichordist, and sopranino recorder virtuoso (in Almirena's gorgeous first act "bird" aria) are superb. Mallon doesn't go for fierce string attacks, but every bit of his leadership has spring and energy. He and his cast are particularly careful with the recitatives, which are dramatically put forth. The cast is uniformly good.
