* DIGITAL-ONLY REISSUE *

A wonderful anthology of Handel arias performed by Irish contralto Bernadette Greevy. The selection of arias contains some well-known numbers as well as rarities.

"This collection of Handel arias makes a treasurable record in its own right ... the springy rhythm of the St Martin's players, so much in evidence throughout the record, is irresistible ... the team is on its toes the entire time. its phrasing is a joy, and it enters wholeheartedly into the mood of each aria ... more please!"
