Paul Agnew (born 1964 in Glasgow) is a Scottish operatic tenor. Agnew read music as a Choral Scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford. He became associated with various groups specialising in early music (the Consort of Musicke, the Tallis Scholars, the Sixteen and the Gothic Voices) before embarking on a solo career in the early 1990s. He is well-known for singing high tenor roles in French repertoire, although he has had success in other types of music. Closely associated with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants, Paul Agnew has performed the roles of Jason in Charpentier's ''Médée'' and of Hippolyte in Rameau's ''Hippolyte et Aricie'', as well as appearing on the recordings of ''La descente d'Orphée aux enfers'' and ''Les plaisirs de Versailles'', both by Marc-Antoine Charpentier; ''Acis and Galatea'' by George Frideric Handel, and Rameau's ''Grands Motets'' (Gramophone's Best Early Music Vocal award in 1995). Paul Agnew's other recordings include Mozart's ''Coronation Mass'', Bach cantatas and Bach's ''Mass in B minor'' with Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, Bach's ''St John Passion'' with Stephen Cleobury (also on video), Bach's ''St Markus Passion'' with Roy Goodman, Berlioz's ''L'enfance du Christ'' with Philippe Herreweghe, Handel's ''Solomon'' with Paul McCreesh, Bach's ''Christmas Oratorio'' with Philip Pickett and Rameau's ''Dardanus'' with Pinchgut Opera. He has played the title travesti role in Rameau's ''Platée'', which has been released on DVD. ==Conducting== In 2007 Agnew conducted Les Arts Florissants in a performance of Antonio Vivaldi. He was the first person other than William Christie to conduct the ensemble. He has since combined his conducting and singing careers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Agnew」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
