Faramondo

Handel: Faramondo / Sparbo, Devin, Lowrey, Cummings, Gottingen Festival Orchestra, Release Date: 10/14/2014, Composer: George Frideric Handel, Performer: Edward Grint, Maarten Engeltjes, Christopher Lowrey, Anna Devin, Conductor: Laurence Cummings, Orchestra/Ensemble: Gottingen Festival Orchestra, Venue: Deutsches Theater Göttingen, Germany, Number of Discs: 3. This is the last in the series of Handel's "heroic" operas. It ran for only eight performances after it's premier in January 1738 and has since been largely neglected before a relatively recent revival of interest, resulting in two studio recordings from 1996 and 2007; this is only the third recording available and is of a live radio broadcast from the Göttingen International Handel Festival.
