About

One of the very last recordings of baroque-pioneer conductor Alan Curtis (1934-2015), a supreme Handelian conductor and scholar. Alan Curtis, described by the New York Times as ‘one of the great scholar-musicians of recent times’, conducts a brilliant cast including German soprano star Christiane Karg and the Italian mezzo-soprano Romina Basso. Christiane Karg is one of those fascinating voices of our time. She is certainly one of today’s most interesting German singers with an international profile. Many of her recordings such as ‘Scene!’, ‘Heimliche Aufforderung’ or ‘Portrait’ (for Berlin Classics) have been internationally acclaimed and were big commecial successes.

A selection of arias, duets and instrumental pieces from Handel masterworks such as Semele, Hercules, Partenope, etc., with liner notes by the british Handel specialist Dr. David Vickers. Includes a dedication by mystery writer Donna Leon, who was a close friend to Alan Curtis.
