George Petrou and his ensemble have advanced to the first ranks of Handel interpreters in record- breaking time. This time the Greek conductor presents us a CD premiere featuring the rebirth of Alessandro Severo, a Roman emperor from the beginning of the third century. Petrou also offers us a special surprise treat with Don Crepuscolo by the Greek composer Niccolo? Manzaro.

George Petrou again draws an outstanding vocal ensemble including Kristina Hammerstro?m, Mary- Ellen Nesi, Irini Karaianni, Marita Solberg, Gemma Bertagnolli, and Petros Magoulas. The recently founded Armonia Atenea performs on historical instruments. On their fifth opera recording the Handel specialists again score a major coup.
