Following their highly acclaimed award-winning recordings of Rodelinda and Floridante, Alan Curtis and Il Complesso Barroco bring new life to another Handel Operatic Rarity, Tolomeo, a gripping story of love, separartion, struggle for power, false identities, and eventual reconciliation. Premiered in Londn in 1728 and composed for some of the greatest voices of the day, including the legendary castrato Senesino, Tolomeo is performed here by some of the outstanding Handel singers of our own day.
