Background: A feast of great Handel arias from one of the World's most beautiful voices - Renée Fleming. The album includes both opera arias in Italian and arias from the oratorios in English. The album includes a number of rarely performed bravura arias - as well as an outstandingly beautiful aria from Rodelinda.

Handel's vocal music - written for the greatest voices of the 18th Century - has never been more popular than it is today. Now, one of the greatest singers of the 21st Century Renée Fleming - renowned above all for the stunning beauty of her voice, and critically acclaimed for her Handel performances - has recorded this sumptuous album of glorious arias from Handel's operas and oratorios.

Fleming is accompanied by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment conducted by English Handel specialist Harry Bicket.
