It is not usual to see the young Handel... Anyway I'm not going to demonstrate that he has been slim. I'm sharing some of the operas premiered in his first 20 years of career in the theatres (actually 18 years). I had never listened to any until recently and I decided to make this post for other beginners like me. There is much good music, even if the plot is often not so engaging. By the way, if you happen to find the miniature shown here, give it back to the Händel-Haus in Halle where it was stolen in 1948. Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) Cantate italiane Diana cacciatrice, Il consiglio, Armida abbandonata, Delirio amoroso, Ero e Leandro, "Spande ancor a mio dispetto", "Ah, crudel, nel pianto mio", "Cuopre talvolta il cielo" Emanuela Galli, Roberta Invernizzi, Raffaella Milanesi, Salvo Vitale, Furio Zanasi La Risonanza, Fabio Bonizzoni Amadeus AM217-2 […]

Raffaella Milanesi, Richard Helm, La Risonanza, Coro Costanzo Porta/ Bonizzoni (Challenge)There are many good reasons to enjoy this live recording: delightfully pungent playing from La Risonanza, crisply articulated chorus work from Coro Costanzo Porta and some fine solo singing are just some, but what really marks it out is its scholarly approach. Using scores prepared for a 1704 London performance, Fabio Bonizzoni recasts the Sorceress as a bass and the Sailor as a soprano. Why? Because the opera was staged with the prologue from Mars and Venus by John Eccles and Godfrey Finger – also heard here – and the vocal parts correlate. (A similar approach, with a separate prologue, was taken at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma in September, with startling results). And an imaginative reappraisal of original pronunciation makes us listen afresh to the familiar libretto. Recommended. Continue reading...

Franco Zeffirelli threatens Aida action against La Scala
The veteran director, 91, has accused the theatre of ‘banning’ his 2006 Aida production and selling it to an opera house in Kazakhstan. ‘La Scala’s vile procedure will require the firm intervention of the magistrature,’ said the director, accusing La Scala of trying to erase him from its history. La Scala’s Aida is due to open at Astana Opera Theatre on November 19, conducted by Keri-Lynn Wilson. Tonight, La Scala issued the following rebuttal of Zeffirelli’s claims: The statement issued by Franco Zeffirelli on the sale of his 2006 production of Aida and the exclusive property of the Teatro alla Scala Opera raises bitterness and disbelief. Maestro Zeffirelli is an artist whose history is intertwined with that of the Scala since 1953, when he staged The Italian Girl in Algiers conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini. His 21 productions have been shown more than 500 times, many of them revived […]
