0ur opinion: :This made-up tale of the Crusades (based on Godfrey of Bouillon’s capture of Jerusalem from the Saracens) was Handel’s first ltalian opera for London audiences, and it was a resounding success. Fireworks, elaborate stage machinery, and actual birds for the heroine’s bird-song aria -- all were combined with vocal pyrotechnics to create a fabulous, if expensive, spectacle which enthralled the capital’s upper classes. ln the 197Os, Rinaldo regained widespread attention once again as a vehicle for Marilyn Horne. The present recording, made after a concert tour in ...

Mozart - La clemenza di Tito / Bartoli · Heilmann · D. Jones · Montague · Cachemaille · Bonney · AAM · Hogwood»rank: 230910from: L'Oiseau-Lyres (Decca)
0ur opinion: essential recording:This is an opera seria, the same kind of opera composed by Handel a half-century earlier and many others in the century before him. lt was already very old-fashioned when Mozart took it up (on a royal commission, an offer he couldn't refuse), finishing it only a few months before his death.
