This production presents Händel’s masterpiece for which a lot of excellent recordings have already been released, however Concerto here offers the true “original” opera version. This means that the roles played by Cesare, Tolomeo and Nireno which were written at that time specifically for the castrati who could best could perform those roles, are in fact beautifully performed by our well-known sopranos: Angelo Manzotti who plays the main character; Angelo Galeano, the youngest one, who plays the role of Tolomeo outstandingly and last but not least Angelo Bonazzoli, playing Nireno. On top of that we have the chance to listen to Alexandra Zabala, Cleopatra, who is well renowned among the opera public as well as in the recording industry.

The Arias included in this CD are certainly among Händel’s most impressive ones and refer to the most evocative themes of love, jealousy, glory and revenge.

The Vocal Ensemble and Orchestra, Concento Ecclesiastico, are conducted by M° Luca Franco Ferrari. The Opera is in three Acts and has been recorded live in Savona, Italy in 2006 under the direction of Alessandro Capaldi; patroness of the special event was Renata Scotto.

This Opera has since been remastered at 32 bit to enhance a pure and high quality sound due to the use of the most sophisticated audio technologies.

How can one write such an absurdity: replacing the castrati by sopranos is NOT offering the true original version – one could admit counter-tenors, though. Crétin de journaliste gringo !
