"I just bought this CD set as a replacement for an old cassette version that I'd simply worn out after many years. This opera has no dead spots. The music is bright and effervescent, and just rolls right along. It's a beautiful recording with lovely voices and sprightly musicianship, played on period instruments. NOT a big head trip, just fine, fun music. You'll soon find yourself singing in the shower!"

"as with most of Handel's operas and oratorios, this piece was subject to revisions, reorderings and eliminations on being revived by him since the initial composition. The version used here is not the same as that used by Pinnock on Avie. Actually its interesting doing a comparison of the various editions. All of the performances are good that i have heard so far, each in their own way."
