Kasarova may not please all ears with her lavish use of chest-voice and emphasis of register-breaks, but to me she's never less than exciting, and the steel in her voice is ideal for the exiled military hero in this Byzantine epic. Eva Mei glitters as his beloved, Amenaide, and there's a lovely early-career performance from Veronica Cangemi (now an acclaimed Handelian and Mozartian) on this 1995 studio recording.
