Listening to this recording of Scipione, you might well judge it one of Handel’s strongest scores: aria after aria bristles with vitality and personality...Long unavailable, it has been reissued in recognition of Rousset’s rising profile on the international scene, and remains the only version on the market. It ranks as one of his most remarkable achievements with Les Talens Lyriques
