@SuperLuckydream You're welcome. I am very fond of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson's singing. What a tragedy that her life was cut short by cancer.

Handel is my favourite composer -his music is inexhaustible! I was introduced to Lorraine Hunt-Liebersohn singing Handel in Peter Sellar's production of "Theodora" on DVD and was totally overwhelmed by the music and acting. II was on a high for weeks after viewing it and get the same effect whenever I rewatch it.

@MrAbellink Yes, I have that DVD too and have watched it many times.  Her performance in that is simply brilliant. I know exactly the effect you're describing.

[MrAbellink]

So moving and the artwork is so appropriate.

@MrAbellink I'm glad you enjoyed it.
