5.0 out of 5 stars A superb performance of Handel's masterpiece, 10 Sep 2000
How wonderful to have this famous performance back well re-mastered and beautiuflly presented as part of Chandos' Opera in English series.

Interesting that in translation what one loses in terms of the beauties of the Italian language is more than compensated by the sense of a drama which really does develop, a fact which can easily be obscured in teh original as one surrenders to the flow of glorious melody and vocal display. Did handel ever write anything more exquisite than 'Lamenting, complaining' with its delicate and varied accompaniment. That aria is also particualrly beautiuflly sung by Valerie Masterson. The purity of her tone and the accomplishemnt of her technique, always most lovely as a lyric soprano, reach some sort of apotheosis here although 'Flow my tears' is almost as touching. In the faster numbers, Sir Charles Mackerras pushes her a little hard and although she coeps with 'Stormy winds' the dacapo is a bit of a scramble. Nevertheless, an enchanting performance by a greatly under-valued singer. Itis right to give her prominence. Everypone always remembers Dame Janet Baker's assumption of Caesar yet the role is more straightforward than the scheming Egyptian queen and for all her reserves of rich tone and expressive word colouring her voice is a little loose and matronly here. Even so, it's a portrayl of real distinction and the rest of the casting brings home the depth of ENO's resources in the 1980's. There's John Tomlinson, a tad unwieldy in Handel but a massive presence as Achillas, James Bowman hootily compelling as Ptolomy, Della Jones' expressive, boyish Sextus and Sarah Walker's rainbow-toned Cornelia, marvellously plangent in tone and colour except when discolouring a little at the top in some ill-advised ornaments. Her duet with Jones at the end of Act 1 is outstandingly one.

Mackerras generally chooses judicious, occasionally over speedy tempi, and has persuaded the modern ENO orchestra to play with a sense of style and Baroque awareness.

Quibble one can but ultimately one succumbs to the glories ofthe music and the splendorus of its performance.
