Orlando

Album by George Frideric Handel & Bejun Mehta & Sophie Karthäuser & Kristina Hammarström & Sunhae Im & Konstantin Wolff & B’Rock Orchestra & René Jacobs

Orlando is an opera by George Frideric Handel, first performed in London in 1733. Set in the Baroque opera seria tradition and sung in Italian, it features expressive recitative, virtuosic arias and rich orchestral textures that probe the protagonist's psychological turmoil, and it sits among Handel's London operatic output as an example of his approach to characterisation within the genre.
