"Handel could express the whole cosmos of humanity with his music. He had a passion for opera. The fascinating thing is that, like Mozart, the most profoundly and intensely dramatic music of his is found not in showy tunes, but in the slow and quiet music when his heroes express their anguish and sorrow.

For this new recital disc, Bulgarian mezzo-soprano Vesselina Kasarova has assembled a group of arias either written for, or sung by, Carestini. The result has the potential to be a fascinating and illuminating recital, especially as Kasarova is accompanied by Alan Curtis and his group Il Complesso Barocco."
