Handel at the height of his glory! • • According to Charles Burney Handel's operas represented the most complete concerts during which, in addition to the most perfect singing and the effects of a mighty and well-disciplined orchestra, there were excellent acting and splendid scenes and stage decorations. • Thanks to his numerous contacts with Italy, Handel had the opportunity of calling upon the most extrodinary castrati. On this recording we can hear the most beautiful arias ever written for these castrati who, thanks to countertenors like Andreas Scholl, have come back to life...
