Great swathes have been lost, but much survives. Composers were largely local men, and texts would be pass around, taking different settings in each town. There are composers whose reputation nowadays rests on a single piece, if that. This is something of the back story to counter-tenor Jakub […]

Care pupille: The London Concert 1746 - Samuel Mariño in soprano arias by Handel and Gluck
[…] his cook) can be read two ways, as a put down pure and simple or as an indication of the compositional gap between the two. Mariño, Hofstetter and the Halle orchestra do not try to reconstruct the original concert (which probably included one of Handel's organ concertos), instead they give us their own selection of arias, those by Handel selected from his operas from the 1736/37 season and written for the soprano castrato Gioacchino Conti.
