George Frideric Händel (1685 † 1759)
Opera Seria
Libretto: Adapted by Apostolo Zeno
The first performed at the King's Theatre, London on 3 January 1738.
Work: Opera Faramondo, HWV39
Act 2. Scene 8. Aria ''Combattuta da due venti''
Performed:
Sandrine Piau, soprano
Conductor: Christophe Rousset
Orchestra: Les Talens Lyriques
Best version of this aria I've yet to hear!
Sandrine is a real find, in the World of Opera. She sounds a lot like Bartoli, yet there is some more delicate handling of certain parts than Cecilia - in my limited experience - has yet to display.
Fantastico - Muchas Gracias!!!
