Classical Opera explore a wealth of arias by Handel and his contemporaries William Boyce, John Christopher Smith and Thomas Arne, all of which were composed for the celebrated 18th-century tenor John Beard (1716-1791). For this recording Allan Clayton steps ably into this role, performing alongside the Orchestra of Classical Opera under Ian Page. The disc also features a duet with Mary Bevan, from Handel's L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato.

"The outstanding young tenor fulfils his early promise...he phrases with immaculate taste and style." (Sunday Times)
