Love, angst, and revenge are the timeless themes of Handel s operas, as brought to vivid life in this recording by the acclaimed baroque orchestra Apollo s Fire. Grammy®-winning soprano Amanda Forsythe, described as simply dazzling by the New York Times, joins conductor/harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell to explore the gamut of emotions, from fiery coloratura arias to tragic laments. The recording includes rarely-heard arias and a few favorite chestnuts, drawn from eight of the composer s operas.
