John MoriartyAbout
The 1970 recording, newly remastered with advanced digital techniques, features mezzo-soprano Gwendolyn Killebrew as Tamerlano, soprano Carole Bogard as Asteria, mezzo Sophia Steffan as Andronicus, mezzo Joanna Simon as Irene, tenor Alexander Young as Bajazet, and bass Marius Rintzler as Leone. John Moriarty conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Copenhagen with continuo supplied by cellist Lars Holm Johansen and harpsichordist Albert Fuller. The use of female singers as an alternative to castrati was Handel’s own preference and was honoured in this performance.
The 92-page booket includes complete libretto in Italian and English, along with extensive programme notes and detailed synopses in English, French, and German.
