Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

May 2007

Curtis directs with well-paced assurance and has assembled an effective cast drawn mainly from a pool of semi-regulars. As always with these pieces, veritable voyages of discovery, the score is generously filled with fine music.
4 out of 5 stars

The great glory of the set is Joyce DiDonato as Elmira, not just fresh-toned, with flawless legato in her lyrical arias, but dazzlingly brilliant in the florid ones...Riccardo Novaro is excellent as the satrap, Timante.

August 2014

I'd heartily recommend any and all of Alan Curtis's many Handel opera recordings with Il Complesso Barocco, but he makes an especially strong case for this little-performed early opera, with the formidable Serbian contralto Marijana Mijanovic in the title-role and Joyce DiDonato as his beloved Elmira.
