Background: A gripping recital of Handel 'mad scenes' from American mezzo Joyce DiDonato. Over the past five years DiDonato has enjoyed an uninterrupted series of triumphs as an opera singer and recitalist in Europe and the USA. This recital of Handel arias was recorded at concert performances in April 2008 at Brussels' Théâtre de la Monnaie.

Reporting on the concert, Forum Opéra said: 'The mezzo takes this repertoire seriously and she has the means to deliver on her promises … as she demonstrated in dazzling, often intoxicating fashion. The flexibility of her instrument is amazing; and as if her true, vital coloratura and her exemplary legato were not enough in themselves, she brings all her resources to bear on sculpting the music, throwing out brilliant top notes, venturing powerful crescendos and raising the stakes in virtuosity. She both surprises and delights …'.
