Handel: Alessandro Severo HWVA13 Mary-Ellen Nesi (Alessandro), Marita Solberg (Salustia), Kristina Hammarström (Giulia), Irini Karaianni (Albina), Gemma Bertagnolli (Claudio), Petros Magoulas (Marziano) Mantzaros: Don Crepuscolo Christophoros Stamboglis (Don Crespuscolo)

These are world premiere recordings and these Handel specialists have once again scored a major coup. Alessandro Severo is based on the life of a Roman emperor of the third century and is in the form of a pasticcio. Manzaro composed the Greek national anthem and the discovery of an opera by him was a major find by the Greek conductor George Petrou. Armonia Atenia perform on period instruments.
