Feuds Comer
With Richard Baker.
Handel's arrival on the English musical scene proved to be rather contentious. His tendency to become involved in quarrels undoubtedly exacerbated the fierce rivalry between two of his famous singers - Faustina Bordoni and Francesca
Cuzzoni, the "Rival Queens". Music includes excerpts from Handel's operas Alessandro, Admeto, Riccardo Primo , Almira, Siroe and Tolomeo. Catherine Bott and Emma Kirkby (sopranos), Brandenburg Consort , director Roy Goodman Producer Piers Burton-Page
