CD6 Agrippina condotta a morire / Armida abbandonata / La Lucrezia
Eva Mei: soprano
Il Giardino Armonico / Giuseppe Antonini

William Christie’s account on Erato is probably now a first recommendation… he has marshalled expert singers; Alan Ewing’s Polyphemus is particularly good, well characterized and spirited. Indeed, the whole performance is full of life and personality, and Christie holds everything together with finesse and grace.” - Penguin Guide *** Key recording

Christie has elected to give a ‘chamber version’ of the work, that is, with forces akin to those Handel used for his original Cannons performances: probably five singers and between seven and a dozen instrumentalists… it is a polished and strongly characterized performance, finely recorded, and is certainly the first we would urge anyone to try.” - Gramophone Classical Good CD Guide
