- this disc gives a sample of some of Handel’s finest music for voice during his time in Italy and in doing so gathers together for the first time the internationally acclaimed soloists Sophie Bevan, Mary Bevan and Benjamin Bevan

- the programme explores key works from Handel’s Italian years including works that contain musical inspiration modern audiences recognise from later incarnations in operatic arias or the grand melodic lines of now-familiar oratorio favourites

London Early Opera (LEO) have recorded a unique program of Handel’s Italian-inspired works, devised by harpsichordist, conductor, early music specialist and director Bridget Cunningham and featuring a unique family collaboration from world-renowned soprano sisters Sophie and Mary Bevan alongside their uncle, bass Benjamin Bevan. LEO are leading exponents of baroque research as they work closely with musicologists, historians, editors and researchers, interestingly linking dramatic music and singing with narration and art history for their concert performances.
