Conducted by Andrea Marcon

Andrea Marcon and La Cetra Barockorchester & Vokalensemble Basel sparkle in this new release from Pentatone of Handel's forgotten masterpiece Parnasso in festa, recorded shortly before their hugely successful Netherlands premiere of the opera in November, 2016. Handel wrote this sumptuous work in 1734 to celebrate the marriage in London of Princess Anne and Prince William or Orange. Cast in the form of a serenata, Parnasso in festa recounts the joyful wedding feast of Thetis and Peleus at which the Musis are present. It's packed with breathtaking arias, duets and choruses, all written with the verve, drama and sense of occasion to be expected from Handel. The soloists that he had on hand for the premiere were among the greatest Italian singers of the day - Giovanni Carestini, Margherita Durastanti, Anna Maria Strada del Po and Maria Caterina Negri. The care he lavished on the richly instrumented score is striking, from the masterly reworking of material from his oratorio Athalia to the ravishing original material, making this work unique among Handel's output. Parnasso in fefst proved to be very popular in its day and was revived several times, yet after 1741 was largely forgotten. Now after years of neglect, this superbly crafted work has been recognized for the glorious entertainment that it is.
