Handel Arias (2007) more music like this

performed by Danielle de Niese (soprano), Les Arts Florissants Orchestra, William Christie (conductor)
composed by George Frederick Handel

Given Danielle de Niese's astronomic rise to prominence in the late twentieth century (she made her Met debut at the age of 19 as Barbarina), it's surprising it took until 2007 for her voice to make it onto disc, but it was worth the wait.

Back in the nineteenth century, humorist Edward Lear wrote in his Nonsense Alphabet the following verse for the letter "X:" "X was King Xerxes, whom Papa much wished to know; but this he could not do, because Xerxes died long ago." Much of the same condition can be applied to George Frideric Handel's 1738 opera about Xerxes, properly referred to ...
