Allor ch’io dissi addio

Crudel tiranno Amor, HWV97

Approved

Our Cantata-thon series celebrates Handel’s rarely-performed cantatas for solo voice and continuo. Ecstasy and agony go hand-in-hand in concise dramas where the young Handel flexes his considerable dramatic muscles.

This concert featured the soprano Anna Cavaliero with CHOC’s Artistic Director, Julian Perkins, harpsichord. The programme included Handel’s cantata Allor ch’io dissi addio and a recently discovered version of Crudel tiranno amor, and some of Handel’s rarely heard fugues on the harpsichord.
