Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Faramondo is another of Handel's rarest operas, written in 1738, performed here by a cast of fresh young singers giving stylish performances, with no suspicion of aspirated colouratura. The period-performance players of I Barocchisti are strongly directed by Diego Fasolis."

The Penguin Guide

"Fasolis's direction is exemplary for its warmly authoritative expressiveness and fluent mastery over detail. Faramondo is revealed as a much better score than I had previously realised."
