G. F. Haendel - James Bowman Singt Helden

One of the most successful collaborations between legendary British countertenor James Bowman singing at the height of his powers and The King�s Consort. Universally praised on its first release, it here makes a welcome second outing on the Helios label.Handel�s Italian operatic arias put the virtuoso singer very much in the spotlight, and none more than the most precious voice-type of the era, the star castrato. This is a selection of Handel�s most famous and melodic heroic set-pieces for his operatic heroes, alternately sweetly reflective or sparkling with fire and energy, and all performed with Bowman�s unmistakeable panache.
