G. F. Haendel - Il Trionfo Del Tempo E De

Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno is a landmark in baroque music. It is Handel�s first oratorio, product of his astonishing flowering in Italy in his early twenties, suffused with the youthful vigour and virtuosity of his early works. The libretto, by the well-connected Benedetto Pamphili, is a highly crafted composition drawing on a rich mix of artistic forebears. It is both moral-religious allegory dramatized in music, and a pattern book of human psychology. This is the second disc for Hyperion from Academia Montis Regalis, who drew great acclaim for their recording of Stradella�s San Giovanni Battista.
