Handel - Duetti Amorosi


Handel:

Caro amico amplesso!

Romilda infida

Troppo oltraggi la mia fede

Quivi, tra questi soltari orr

Ah, sì, morrò

Alma mia

Ma come a mar

Rodelinda: Ritorna, caro e dolce mio tesoro

Non ti bastò

Io t'abbraccio (from Rodelinda HWV 19)

Fuggi, mio bene

Il fugir, cara mia vita

Ritorna nel core vezzosa

Parte Agilea

Te credo, si ben mio

Commanda, dunque, o bella

Quest’è dunque la fede (Admeto, re di Tessaglia)

Addio, mio caro bene

Teseo

Arminio : Overture


Nuria Rial & Lawrence Zazzo

Chamber Orchestra of Basel, Laurence Cummings

Romantic duets from Handel’s operas, including Serse, Rodelinda, Arminio and Teseo.

Performed by Nuria Rial and Lawrence Zazzo, who recently appeared on deutsche harmonia mundi’s recording of rare Handel opera Riccardo Primo (88697174212) in which Zazzo takes the title role.

Accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra of Basel conducted by Handel specialist Laurence Cummings.

Rial and Zazzo are two of the leading exponents of the Baroque genre. The soprano has sung with the early music conductors René Jacobs and Giovanni Antonini.

The repertoire of the Philadelphia-born countertenor Zazzo ranges from the operas of Monteverdi, Scarlatti and Handel to numerous twentieth-century works. He will be appearing at the Royal Opera House during the Autumn of 2008 in a production of Cavalli’s La Calisto.

“The aching longing and ecstatic intertwining of soprano and alto (castrato) voices in the sublime duets for Poro (1731) and Cleofide, and for Rodelinda (1725) and Bertarido, are among the era’s most moving “romantic” music. With her bright, pristine soprano, Rial blends perfectly with Zazzo’s plush countertenor. They are delightful in the comical Romilda/Arsamene duet, from Serse (1738), and moving in the yearning farewell of Clizia and Arcane, from Teseo (1713). Unexpected and enjoyable.” Sunday Times, 10th August 2008 ****
