Entirely agree. I gave it a fair crack. Four times over 10 days. Disappointingly average.

I *respect* it, Brian. Tremendous artistic integrity & courage on Barb's part. He had his singular conception of the work & saw it through. It's like no one else's. I just can't stand it!

Good to see this. A seriously underrated maestro.

Least fave.

Fave.

Hewitt's Golbergs (both recordings) are amongst my fave recordings of the work. She's wonderful. Saw her in Leeds, just after lockdown was lifted, it was an unforgettable experience.

Mary-Ellen Nesi is positively incendiary. A superb recording of yet another criminally little known Handel operatic masterpiece.

No different to the bullshit narrative regarding Israel/Palestine that the West happily buys into, though, is it? That Hamas started it all on October 7th.

Biondi's done some marvelous work. I love what I've heard.
