HANDEL'S RIVALS
(CD- JAN D203) BUY
IT
Arias by the Italians who threatened Handel's unique position
in England.
"Extremely interesting repertoire; we hear about Handel's trials
and tribulations at the hands of other imported composers, but
rarely do we get to hear any of their music. I hope they go on
to discover more gems."
Early Music Review, December 1999.
