G.B. Bononcini: Ombra mai fu (Xersè) - Kermes (Osele)

[gustavs9]

I think that anyway there was a big competition abot the two of them considering that they wer of opposite sides of interests...

[gspaulsson]

Some say that compared to Bononcini,

Mynherr Handel's but a ninny;

Others aver that he to Handel

Is scarcely fit to hold a candle.

Strange that there should all this difference be

'Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee

(satirical verse, the origin of the expression "tweedledum and tweedledee")

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

[picard066]

I wonder if someone ever recorded the whole Bononcini's Xerse?

[damodrummer1]

is this a counter tenor?? It's amazing either way.

Simone Kermes is a female soprano.

The improvement of this was hard to handle for the Great Borrower.
