5.0 out of 5 stars Poro Re dell'Inde, August 1, 2000
By 
Homero (Santiago, Region Metropolitana Chile) - See all my reviews
Europa Galante expresa verdaderamente el sentido más puro del barroco en una interpretación maravillosa y colmada de estilo. Las cuerdas con un sonido seco y los staccato en colocaciones exactas, dan una idea clara de los deseos de Handel respetando las formas imperantes en la época. Los cantantes en una interpretación excelente gestan una ópera de extremada delicadeza y cuidadas formas estéticas. Destacable es la interpretación de Poro en los tres actos (Barditelli) y de Cleofide y Erisenna (Bertini y Fink, siendo algo más débiles (pero manteniendo el estilo) las de Alessandro y Timagenes. En resumen una ópera adorable que todo amante de Handel debería tener

5.0 out of 5 stars pure genius, November 14, 2008
This review is from: Handel: Poro (Audio CD)
If you have not yet discovered Handel, your life is not complete. This rarely performed opera is a miracle. Every note is genius. You might have to listen to it several times to initially understand the music. Once you truly hear the music, you will "see the light." Every aria, recitative, overture-- is beautiful brilliant music, equalled only in magnificance by Beethoven and Mozart. There is a reason that Beethoven said "...Handel is the greatest composer that ever lived." The music of other baroque composers, including Porpora, Vivaldi, Rameau, Charpentier, Scarlatti, Conti, Jomelli, Keiser, and dare I say even JS Bach-- pales in comparison to the music of the great Handel. Get your hands on this performance of Poro-- and transport yourself to another planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great discovery!, April 28, 1999
We must be very grateful to Fabio Biondi and OPUS111 for recording this virtually unknown Handel opera. As usual, there is much fine music to hear, and the performance is predictably excellent, with wonderful singers including Gloria Banditelli and the great alto Gerard Lesne. Deffinitely worth trying!
