Спасибо,просто счастье,слушать,такую чудесную музыку,благодать!

Todo hermmoso, las arias son muy sobrias pero melodías puras y bellas. es un haendel menos virtuoso vocalmente mas contenido. Orquestalmente es el de siempre grandioso.

All arias are beautiful. Great performance. Great voices. The great Handel (!) Extra bellissimo: Aria Tolomeo "Se un solo è quel core" 1:11:28

Listening to this again after a year of listening to other Handel. My delight in this thrilling masterpiece only grows. The duet at 1:34:00 "Se il cor ti perde" is ravishing, but then Handel was able to write many intensely moving duets - my favourite has to be "To thee thou glorious son of worth" from Theodora. I also love the poignancy at 2:14:00 of Tolomeo singing "Stille amare, già vi sento".

Thank you for sharing this magnificent Handel opera with the greatest singers :)🌼 Magical !!!

Herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Ensemble und die Solisten,Chor und das Orchester spielen ebenso auch an Sir Curtis Grüße aus dem schönen Schwarzwald Schallstadt südlich von Freiburg

Not sure who the recording is, but much to enjoy. I have the Alan Curtis recording which has some remarkable singing. Thank you for posting yet another treasure.

Maravilloso duo. 1:34:34.

Thanks heaps for this. I presume this is the Alan Curtis version--you don't say and the link to the Gramophone site is dead. I see that the Karlsruhe Handel Festival are putting this on next year (2020). I'd love to buy the CDs just to have the booklet but I can't find one for sale anywhere. Thankfully you give the track info so I can look up who's singing what. It's a huge shame that often even paid-for downloads of operas such as this don't include a copy of the booklet with translated libretto. Anyone got a copy of the booklet for this, or for the Curtis Berenice for sale? Or could send me a pdf of them?

Who are the singers, does anyone know? In particular, who sings Tolomeo? I can find no details, sadly. I’m looking forward to seeing the incomparable Jakub Jozef Orlinski, our Polish treasure, singing this in Paris on 3.May, can’t wait! He is the ultimate Tolomeo, but then, he is the ultimate everything!

1:16:22, Il mio cor non apprezza, 1:18:07, Celletti, p. 98

I don't know yet if prefere this version or Scarlatti's... Ann recorded both operas with Curtis, the libretto in Scarlatti's is richer, but i tend to like Handel's and Vivaldi's music more, so i guess i will chose Handel's version BUT Tolomeo's final aria "Stille Amare" is better in the Scarlatti's version, the text makes more sense in his version than Handel's.

1:01:23 Very nice. Do not anybody know the name?
