About

Following highly acclaimed, award-winning recordings of Handel’s 'Rodelinda' and 'Floridante' and Vivaldi’s 'Motezuma', Alan Curtis and his Il Complesso Barocco bring another neglected baroque jewel to life. Alan Curtis, the pioneer of baroque opera revivals and three-time winner of the German Record Critics’ Prize here works his magic on Handel’s Tolomeo.

Written in 1728, Tolomeo is a gripping story of revenge, lust, lost love and eventual reconciliation. It was the final opera created by Handel for the Royal Academy of Music in London, where it was premiered with a sensational cast led by one of the most famous singers of the day, the castrato Senesino.

In this recording, Curtis and Il Complesso Barocco are joined by some of today’s leading Handel singers headed by Ann Hallenberg as Tolomeo and also featuring Karina Gauvin, Anna Bonitatibus, Romina Basso and Pietro Spagnoli.
