5.0 out of 5 stars
neglected masterpiece,
By MDK "MDK" (NJ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handel: Riccardo Primo / Rousset (Audio CD)
After hearing and studying this opera, I am at a loss of words. The fact that this opera, and particularly this recording, has been out of print for so long is a crime against the humanities. This is a first rate Handel opera. Every note is a masterpiece.The performance under Christophe Rousset is brilliant. Recording quality is excellent. The soloists are an all star cast that live up to their reputations. Just listen to the duet "T'amo, Si!" with Sara Mingardo and Sandrine Piau ending act 2. This music is superhuman in beauty and the singing is unreal. A new recording of Riccardo Primo is scheduled for release soon with Paul Goodwin. The Rousset version will be difficult to top.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect Handel!,
This review is from: Handel: Riccardo Primo / Rousset (Audio CD)
I've been somewhat systematically listening to all my Handel opera recordings lately, and after the first half dozen or so this is the one I find most satisfying overall. Great opera, great recording -- quintessential Handel! Too bad it is not available now -- they should reissue it.
