About

In his setting of Orlando (drawn from Tasso’s Orlando furioso) Handel offers us a score of remarkable dramatic power, diversity and originality. Orlando’s mad scene and his slumber aria are among the composer’s most striking creations. Everything in the opera arouses admiration: the extremely varied scoring, the exuberant vocal writing, the rhythmic invention, and the supple melodies. Includes an essay on opera seria, or not so seria, by Baroque pioneer Jean-Claude Malgoire, himself.

Awards and reviews

November 2010

The real vocal find is Nicholls, who sparkles as the innocent Dorinda, picks off effortless top Ds and ornaments authentically the da capo repeats...Malgoire conducts this live staging with real flow and the orchestra responds powerfully, not least in the cave scene with wind machine and thunder sheet.
3 out of 5 stars

September 2010

Dumaux's performance is consistently assured and perceptive...his delivery of rhythms and torrents of daredevil division are spot on...Rachel Nicholls sings [Dorinda] with depth and stylish mastery; her coloratura and embellishments are flawless...Elena de la Merced is a forcible Angelica

16th July 2010

Malgoire’s tempos are steady and the playing of La Grande Écurie is excellent...[Dumaux gives] a fruity account of the tremendous mad scene in Act 2
