In 1733 the Opera of the Nobility was set up in London in opposition to Handel's own opera company. Handel lost all of his star singers except for the soprano Anna Strada del Po - she was rewarded with two of Handel's finest roles, Alcina and Ginevra (Ariodante)). Handel engaged the castrato Carestini as leading man. He had a range of two octaves and an ability to sing elaborate coloratura. He only sang for Handel from 1733 to 1735 but Handel wrote the roles of Ariodante and Ruggiero (Alcina) for him. These are roles which exploited Carestini's virtuosity in instrument-like vocal writing.
For this new recital disc, Bulgarian mezzo-soprano Vesselina Kasarova has assembled a group of arias either written for, or sung by, Carestini. The result has the potential to be a fascinating and illuminating recital, especially as Kasarova is accompanied by Alan Curtis and his group Il Complesso Barocco.–Robert Hugill
