Synopsis:
'Alcina is among the finest of Handels operas. The fine Erato set was recorded live at the Paris Opera. Christie too is masterly at avoiding any monotony in the long sequence of da capo arias, with the recitative superbly timed and reprises beautifully decorated. It is striking that the star singers here are not just brilliant in tackling elaborate passage-work and ornamentation, but are stylishly scrupulous in avoiding unwanted aspirates. Renee Fleming is in glorious voice as AlcinaK Natalie dessay as Alcinas sister, Morgana, relishes the challengeK' Penguin Guide 3 stars, 2008 edition
