Drama Queens: 13 Selected Arias from Early Baroque to Classic Mezzo-Soprano/Soprano

(Boosey & Hawkes Voice). 'This anthology is the result of the collaboration with the mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato who had expressed the wish to record a CD with my ensemble Il Complesso Barocco. It should not just be another compilation of famous arias by Handel or Vivaldi, but a collection of pieces of quite different styles and from different epochs which are linked by a common superordinate topic. Contents: BERENICE: Da Torbida Procella * IFIGENIA IN AULIDE: Madre Diletta, Abbracciami * ALCINA: Ma Quando Tornerai * FREDEGUNDA: Lasciami Piangere * ANTONIO E CLEOPATRA: Morte Col Fiero Aspetto * GIULIO CESARE IN EGITTO: Piangero La Sorte Mia * ORONTEA: Intorno All'Idol Mio * ALESSANDRO: Brilla Nell'Alma * OCTAVIA: Geloso Sospetto * L'INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA: Disprezzata Regina * MEROPE: Sposa Son Disprezzata * BERENICE: Col Versar, Barbaro, Il Sangue * ARMIDA: Vedi Se T'Amo
