About
Swiss soprano Regula Mühlemann displays her wonderfully light voice with an album of ‘Cleopatra’ arias from operas by Vivaldi and Handel alongside undiscovered gems by Graun, Legrenzi, Hasse, Scarlatti, Mattheson and Sartorio.
The legendary figure of Cleopatra is featured in more than 80 operas from the 17th and 18th centuries and is perfectly embodied by Regula’s breathtaking, beautiful and expressive voice. Regula is joined on this album by one of Europe’s finest Baroque ensembles, La Folia Barockorchester.

January 2018
Mühlemann makes everything sound easy. But it’s not just virtuosity, as the beauty of her voice also stops you in your tracks.
November 2017
Mühlemann’s seemingly effortless virtuosity is displayed admirably in Graun’s ‘Tra le procelle assorto’, whereas her melodic singing in Handel’s ‘Se pietà’ is as profoundly moving as any of the most distinguished sopranos to have tackled it on disc.
March 2018
Mühlemann responds to the disarming simplicity of the Legrenzi aria and brings drama to a Vivaldi aria emphasizing short, vivid phrases. [Handel] Mühlemann sings with beauty and clarity; she uses vibrato discreetly, but the voice never sounds colourless.
