Il Complesso Barocco
Alan Curtis – conductor

 

Fernando is the sixth Handel opera on Virgin Classics from Alan Curtis and Il Complesso Barocco. Three of Alan’s previous recordings have won the International Handel Recording Prize, a remarkable achievement: Arminio in 2002, Deidamia in 2004 and Radamisto in 2006.

Fernando, re di Castiglia is not a title opera-goers will be familiar with, though the music will be familiar enough: Fernando became Sosarme, one of Handel’s finest operas, in the later stages of its composition, and was first performed as Sosarme in February 1732.

Alan Curtis has prepared his own edition of Fernando, which restores some recitative cut or truncated in the hasty preparation of Sosarme, in particular the meticulously prepared accompagnato in the opening scene. In most respects, however, the music, the plot and the characters are those of Sosarme and the opera contains some of Handel’s finest music, including the blissful duet ‘Per le porte del tormento’, which Alan Curtis included in the duets disc Amor e gelosia.

Fernando is set in late 13th-century Portugal. The characters are loosely based on historical figures - the Portuguese king Dionisio, his rebellious son Alfonso, and Fernando, king of Castille. In the first half of the eighteenth century Portugal, under King John V, was a firm ally of Britain, and a libretto presenting the Portuguese royal family in an unflattering light might have seemed politically sensitive; for whatever reason, two-thirds of the way through the composition of Fernando Handel decided to change the characters and location to mythical antiquity and the opera became Sosarme. --- emiclassics.com
