Handel: Il Trionfo Del Tempo E Del Disinganno - Natalie Dessay, Le Concert de Astree (2 CDs)

"Beauty's final aria (sung by Natalie Dessay) is unconventionally slow and intensely moving, accompanied by obbligato violin possibly intended for Corelli who may have led the first performance. Haïm is generally more elegant, though no less exciting, while the... sound is excellent. Technically superb, reassuringly stylish, this is an outstanding performance of Handel at the height of his powers." - BBC Music Magazine - Disc 1 -1 Il Trionfo Del Tempo a Del Disinganno, Oratorio in Two Parts HWV 46 a (1707): Overture2 Il Trionfo Del Tempo a Del Disinganno, Oratorio in Two Parts HWV 46 a (1707), Part One: Aria : "Fido Specchio" (Bellezza)3 Il Trionfo Del Tempo a Del Disinganno, Oratorio in Two Parts HWV 46 a (1707), Part One: Recit.: "Io Che Sono Il Piacere" (Bellezza/Piacere)4 Il Trionfo Del Tempo a Del Disinganno, Oratorio in Two Parts HWV 46 a (1707), Part One: Aria: "Fosco Genio, E Nero Duolo" (Piacere)5 Il Trionfo Del Tempo a Del Disinganno, Oratorio in Two Parts HWV 46 a (1707),
