In celebration of Handel’s actual birthday on March 5th, (although he would have known it to be in February due to the old style Julian calendar), we have been busy making preparations for our emerging artists scheme, The Handelians. 🎶 hyperion-records.co.uk/dc.as… @SignumRecords

Enjoy sublime arias written for Handel’s singers Faustina and Cuzzoni, originally performed amidst bustling audience factions in 18th-century London during a period when two opera companies were in fierce competition. @signumrecords youtu.be/hAfSzsTJ_q0?si=Rqd5…

Handel was forbidden from marrying the amateur harpsichordist and devout follower, Elizabeth Legh as she was from a noble family. We recently performed newly discovered Handel arias for Elizabeth, reflecting their close relationship. @HandelHendrix @MusicCunningham 🎶
