Francesco Bernardi-universally known by the moniker 'Senesino', after his place of birth-was Handel's leading male star for over a decade, owning many of the finest castrato roles. But this new album delves into the astonishing wealth of material composed for him by rather less well known composers: Giovanni Antonio Giay, Attilio Ariosti, Giuseppe Maria Orlandini, Giovanni Alberto Ristori, Giovanni Bononcini, Geminiano Giacomelli and Antonio Lotti. Needless to say, this is music which has not been heard for centuries.
