Remarks:

Internationally acclaimed tenor Rolando Villazon presents an all-new recording of Italian arias by Handel. All admirers of the tenor's voice will be engaged by this program of performances, completely unlike any of Villazon's previous recordings, offering listeners a thrilling and new way to hear Handel. Conductor Paul McCreesh, a Gramophone Award winner for Handel, and the exciting Gabrieli Players join Villazon, giving the listener both an authentic period performance as well as a new twist on familiar Handel repertoire. To suit his voice, Villazon performs not only tenor arias, but also transposed mezzo-soprano arias - a practice familiar to Handel. A Deluxe Edition is available as DGG B001273310, which includes the complete CD and a DVD of aria performances taken from an exclusive TV special, interviews and more – all in an elegant hardcover booklet.
 

Notes:

This selection is available in a deluxe hardcover booklet edition that contains the complete CD plus a DVD featuring performances and interviews.
