This is a Handel rarity that appeared in adverts and promos, but seems to have been available elsewhere, but not here. By today's standards the libretto was a rather silly hodge-pode of stock characters and standard operatic situations. It is the music that carries the opera. Props should go to the team that Alan Curtis has put together for this recording. The solists are mostly excellent and the instrumentalists are lead by Curtis in an excellent all-around performance. My hope is that Curtis will record Scipione and Alessandro, two other Handel rarities, as well.
