Tamerlano

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Opera seria in three acts Libretto by NICOLA HAYM Music by Handel (sung in Italian)
When Handel wrote Tamerlano in 1724 he was at the height of his power, both as one of music's supreme melodists and as a master of dramatic expression. Bajazet's death scene in Act 3 is only one of the memorable events in this little known masterpiece.
