composed by George Frederick Handel

An ambitious German composer newly arrived in England in 1710, it took Handel a decade to suss out what would best tickle English musical tastes, finally settling on Italian serious opera with a dash of English semi-opera. He finally hit the bullseye in 1720 with Radamisto. Played 10 times in its first run, Radamisto was revised for a new cast and ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

Handel wrote Floridante in 1722 for a London audience infatuated with Italian opera. The plot, like that of so many Baroque operas, was taken from ancient history and concerns romantic liaisons thrown into turmoil by political rivalries, in this case between Persia and Tyre. Handel wrote over 50 Italian operas, and it's remarkable that he was ...

performed by Inga Kalna (vocals), Maite Beaumont (vocals), Marijana Mijanovic (vocals), Roberta Invernizzi (vocals), Romina Basso (vocals), Vito Priante (vocals), Il Complesso Barocco, Alan Curtis (conductor)
composed by Antonio Vivaldi

Conductor Jean-Claude Malgoire must be kicking himself pretty hard right now. Several years ago, impatient that no trace of Antonio Vivaldi's only opera set in the New World, Motezuma, seemed to be turning up, Malgoire cobbled his own version of the work by pulling together a variety of music from other bits and scraps of Vivaldi and fitting it to ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

For the 1727 season -- the waning days of opera's popularity in London -- transplanted German composer George Frederick Handel wrote no less than three operas for the English capital's stage. Tolomeo, rč d'Egitto was the last and least enthusiastically received of them. Unsuccessfully revived in 1730 and then again in 1733, Tolomeo was unperformed ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

It's a pleasure to have such an abundance of excellent recordings of Handel operas that were long virtually unknown or available on CD in a single version, if at all. Alan Curtis' stellar recording of Alcina, which joins a respectable number of very fine recordings of the opera, is remarkable for the supple liveliness of his conducting and the ...

composed by Antonio Vivaldi

Compilations take their fair share of justified criticism, but sometimes you just feel like listening to one type of music -- maybe slow music -- maybe slow Baroque music -- maybe slow Vivaldi. If that happens to be the case, then this Virgin Classics album of Vivaldi certainly fits the bill and, as compilations go, is nicely put together. Of ...

Nicola Porpora: Arias (2009) more music like this

composed by Nicola Porpora

For most listeners, if they know his name at all, Nicola Porpora was the composer who took the young, impoverished street musician Franz Joseph Haydn under his wing and created one of the greatest geniuses in all of Western music. For much of his career, Porpora tended to be in direct competition with another figure who happened to be more popular ...
