Laterna Magica

Description:

The smallest opera! Handel lovers weep! The ancient instrument ensemble Laterna Magica, which attracted attention when it released an album of interesting Bach works in 2007 with a trio sonata of many famous melodies, has made a new recording after a long absence. This time, the ensemble performs Handel’s masterpiece from the opera on two recorders, cello, and harpsichord. It is entitled “Minimal Opera” and is subtitled “Handel with care”, which means “Handel with care”. If you think it is just a “collection of some of the best melodies,” you may be surprised to find that it is arranged in such a way that it is almost like the original trio sonata. Of course, “Let me weep” from “Rinaldo” is included. Handel’s beautiful melodies and dramatic music-making draw you in, and you will want to listen to this album forever. King International
