Product-Information:

The present recording has been made according to Handel’s intentions as shown in the Münster score. Having restored the cantata to its most complete form, it is now difficult to imagine it without the lines which might serve as its motto:

O felice in amor dolce tormento,
se partorisce at fin gioie a contento!

Rezensionen

'Even after 17 years this performance still dazzles. Significantly, no other group has touched the cantata since the disc was made. One can understand why: its charms would be hard to match. A celebration of Handel’s youthful genius, this recording fully deserves its reissue' (International Record Review)

'A suitably pastoral cantata, it depicts the shepherd Aminta’s wooing of the initially reluctant nymph in a series of charming arias' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The two singers are superb… The purity of their voices, the splendid intonation and the secure high notes are worthy of our sincere admiration' (www. musicweb. uk. net)

'Outstanding' (The Guardian)

'Strongly recommended' (Gramophone)

Reviews

W.Bollert in FonoForum 4/85:"Es ist unge- mein fesselnd zu beobachten,mit welch ungemein künstlerischer Sicherheit Händel die fast stereotype Abfolge von Rezitativ und Arie zu handhaben und aufzulockern und wie variabel er in dem vorgegebenen Ambiente schon zu disponieren wußte.An der Wiedergabe wird man viel Freude ha- ben."
