## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW!!!!!
*by C***C on February 22, 2025*

Just an incredible performance. Dessay was breathtaking, as usual. And Fleming is in her finest milieu. The whole cast is superb. Not since Sills' Guilio Cesare has there been such a wonderful Handel opera!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A review for the common person
*by J***D on June 25, 2001*

I may not be as musically sophisticated as some of the other reviewers, but I do share the belief that that is a wonderful performance. My reasons are as follows: Alcina does not offer the performers the opportunity to dazzle listeners with incredible feats of soaring vocal display (such as one might find with "Mi chiamano Mimi" in La Boheme). Accordingly, the results rest much more on the performers' ability to achieve a sustained level of perfection over the entire performance. In this I believe they succeed marvelously. In particular, Ms. Fleming's voice control and purity of notes are just amazing. Further, in this opera the orchestration is nearly as prevalent as the singing, and William Christie controls things perfectly. The orchestra never interferes with the singing, but when it's the orchestra's turn to solo, Mr. Chrsitie turns up the volume by just the right amount. Finally, in my person opinion, this is one of Handel's better pieces. I have at least 12 different Handel oratorios and operas, and this is my second favorite (after Solti's "Messiah" with Dame Kiri). It moves along much better than, say, "Israel in Egypt". Granted, this is comparing an opera to an oratorio, but I think you get the point. Thank you for reading this "poor commoner's" review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spirited Handel
*by K***O on February 3, 2016*

A beautiful recording, with fine performances from all the artists. Renee Fleming brings the right level of desperation and poignancy to the role of Alcina, and Dessay is a fine and equally poignant Morgana. Susan Graham's creamy mezzo soprano is a joy to listen to. My only problem is a technical one - Disc 2 refuses to play on my laptop.
