5.0 out of 5 stars Snap it up if you get the chance, 28 Dec 2008
By Iain C. Davidson "iain1825" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'Giustino' is one of the best of Handel's later operas set to a fairly good libretto (one or two oddities aside) and with a great deal of very attractive music. The story of lowly farm boy made good is appealing and the characters are generally likeable and believable (even if the Emperor is rather too quick to believe his wife capable of infidelity on very flimsy evidence). Handel's music engages from the start and I particularly love the presence of Fortune's spinning wheel even in the overture - fate has a large part to play in this opera with power changing constantly throughout.

Nicholas McGegan assembles a good cast in this recording made after live performances at the Gottingen Festival. Michael Chance sings the title role and it's one of his best performances on disc in my opinion. A young Dorothea Roschmann throws herself into the part of the Empress Arianna - her storm simile aria is vocally wild but definitely exciting! The role of her husband is taken by the delightful soprano Dawn Kotoski (it's a pity she did not record more) and Giustino's own love interest, the Emperor's sister Leocasta is in the very capable hands of Jennifer Lane who gets some of the best music in the piece. Mark Padmore is the villainous Vitaliano and sings sweetly, Dean Ely in strong voice as his villainous sidekick. As the ultra-villain Amanzio, Drew Minter sings beautifully but with little character - the only real disappointment here. Juliana Gondek (a McGegan regular at the time) sings the tiny but important role of Fortune.

This is a great recording if you can get your hands on it.
