5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Opera!, January 7, 2000

This review is from: Handel - Tamerlano / Jacobs, Elwes, van der Sluis, Ledroit, Poulenard, Reinhart, Malgoire (Audio CD)

I had never heard of this opera before I came accross it at an internet auction, but being a huge fan of Handel I decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. This opera is one of the best I've heard from Handel or any other composer for that matter. With many great arias sung by an excellent cast this cd set is well worth the price and as I know of no other recording of Tamerlano I can recommend it without reservation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tamerlano, December 21, 2008

This review is from: Handel - Tamerlano / Jacobs, Elwes, van der Sluis, Ledroit, Poulenard, Reinhart, Malgoire (Audio CD)

as with most of Handel's operas and oratorios, this piece was subject to revisions, reorderings and eliminations on being revived by him since the initial composition. The version used here is not the same as that used by Pinnock on Avie. Actually its interesting doing a comparison of the various editions. All of the performances are good that i have heard so far, each in their own way.

I just bought this CD set as a replacement for an old cassette version that I'd simply worn out after many years. This opera has no dead spots. The music is bright and effervescent, and just rolls right along. It's a beautiful recording with lovely voices and sprightly musicianship, played on period instruments. NOT a big head trip, just fine, fun music. You'll soon find yourself singing in the shower!
