From M. MIJANOVIC´s first SENESINO role in Zurich:
RADAMISTO, March 2004
It is the Dec 1720 / Jan 1721 version, in which G.F. Handel passed the role of Radamisto from soprano M. Durastanti to alto-castrato Senesino!
Sorry for poor audio quality, unfortunately only 2 arias are professionally recorded - on MM's "affetti barocchi" CD
William Christie, La Scintilla
Marijana Mijanovic (Radamisto)
Liliana Nikiteanu (Zenobia)
Malin Hartelius (Polissena)
Rolf Haunstein (Farasmane)
Isabel Rey (Tigrane)
Elizabeth Rae Magnuson (Fraarte)
Reinhard Mayr (Tiridate)

Dolce bene di quest'alma,
no, giammai ti lascerò.
Del tuo cor avrò la palma,
del tuo amor trionferò.

Gentle belovedof my soul,
no, I shall never leave you.
I shall gain the victory of your heart,
I shall triumph through your love.
