Yesterday we had an exquisite performance of Handel´s Radamisto with countertenor Carlos Mena, sopranos Veronica Cangemi, Sarah Campion, Ellen MacAteer and bass José Antonio López. All sang splendidly, but what stood out was the exquisite playing from the Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra from Los Angeles and members of the Winer Akademie from Austria with Martin Haselböck conducting.
It was performed complete, over 3 hours of music plus 30 minutes of intermission, a long evening that seemed like 5 minutes. Bathed with Handel´s incomparable music expertly performed. Heaven!
Yet another successful evening on your busy musical calendar Pepe; delighted that you enjoyed it!

Number one is very good and number two beggars belief: it is a superb, exhilarating performance and I have had it on repeat play this afternoon, I love it.
