A world-premiere recording of an opera pasticcio by Handel, compiled from his own compositions, and including arias by Francesco Araja. A pasticcio is an opera in which arias from older pieces are put together to make up a new piece. This practice, which might seem strange to us today, was entirely common in the eighteenth century. One took the text of an older opera and inserted, in place of the original arias, pieces that fit best to the current cast of singers and through which the greatest possible popular success could be achieved. In this way, it was possible to hear music by many different composers during one opera performance. In London, George Frideric Handel, too, attempted on a number of occasions to offer such pasticci alongside his original compositions. Giove in Argo (Jupiter in Argos) occupies a very special position that distinguishes it from all of Handel’s other musico-dramatic works. --- arkivmusic.com

Giove in Argo (Jupiter in Argos, HWV A14) is an Italian opera by George Frideric Handel. It was first performed in King's Theatre, Haymarket, London on 1 May 1739. The libretto by the Venetian poet Lucchini had been written for a setting by Antonio Lotti in Dresden in 1717. Handel might have heard Lotti's opera on his visit to Dresden in 1719, where the famous Senesino sang the part of Jupiter. Probably Handel took a copy of the text to England and remembered it in 1739 when he was looking for a libretto for a short pasticcio opera with three female characters in it.

Handel brought several pasticci to the London stage. In most cases he adapted successful works of Italian composers for London, but he wrote three pasticci in which he re-used music from his own earlier works. They are the well known Oreste, the little-known Alessandro Severo and the completely unknown Giove in Argo. In the latter opera he used, apart from music from his earlier works, some original compositions as well as two arias (sung by Iside) written by the Italian composer Francesco Araja.

The opera failed in London and was abandoned after only two performances.

For many years most of Giove in Argo was thought to have been lost until some old manuscripts were discovered containing a considerable number of the missing arias. However, most of the recitatives from the original work remain missing. This discovery enabled musicologist and composer John H. Roberts to assemble a performable opera out of the material that was supplemented partly with his own music composed in the style of Handel. A published edition of this score is due soon by the Complete Works Edition,.

The first modern performance of Giove in Argo occurred on 15 September 2006 in Bayreuth in the 18th century Margrave's Opera House in a complete and staged production by Concert Royal, Cologne and Collegium Cantorum Cologne, directed by Igor Folwill and conducted Thomas Gebhardt. The United States premiere of the work took place on April 29, 2008 in a concert format presented at Carnegie Hall with conductor Robert Bass, the Orchestra of St. Luke's, and the Collegiate Chorale. Rufus Müller sang Giove and Elizabeth Futral portrayed Calisto.
