[ Harmonia Mundi / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 29 October 2023
Handel at the height of his glory. In this recital, the young Andreas Scholl and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin invited listeners to rediscover some of Handel's finest arias, from Giulio Cesare to Serse by way of Rodelinda and Alcina, not forgetting marvellous instrumental pieces from Radamisto et Alexander's Feast.
"...a towering success. Handel singing just doesn't get much better than this...this recital is a winner."
Andrew Clarke The Scotsman
