Rinaldo di George Frideric Handel_Regia Pier Luigi Pizzi

clavesin+lute is the best sounding combo

Thank u😍

고맙습니다

STUNNING! What a GORGEOUS and luscious production! I absolutely love them as marble statues, Bernini or Michelangelo, I can't tell. LOL And I also love that it is the 1731 version of "Rinaldo"--with the tenor Goffredo and the role of Almirena expanded for la Strada, I believe--which is not often staged, let alone recorded. While this is a regional production in Italy, the standards are so high, and perhaps this is the more "correct" in terms of the size of the theatre.

A stunning production! Thank you

Excellent!

Woww The cast and the orchestra Its wonderful!!!!

"Yes, I need to order all the body paint you have. No its not a rave festival, it's for an opera."

ça a été fait en 1985 ?

Is it possible to buy this recording in DVD?

Stupenda opera,peccato che manchino i sottotitoli

Handel is really great: there is not absolutely any imperfection in all the music or sung parts in his operas or oratorios or concerti... Whatever... He is second after Unser Vater JS Bach. Two giants of Baroque!!

After "Lascia ch'io pianga" divine recitativo and aria:
"Basta". Incredible the grandeur!!!

Excelente versión musical y escénica. Se lamenta la falta de subiítulos.

One of Handel's best opening arias. Unfortunately can barely hear the tenor.

Ho avuto il piacere di vedere l'edizione del 1985 al Teatro Valli di Reggio Emilia, indimenticabile

OMG such a giant composer was Händel!!!
His music is from other world!! Absolutely amazing marvelous!!
From the Sinfonia, the first recitativo, the first aria... From then on all is pure perfection. Singers must be excellent to perform this super Master Piece.
OUTSTANDING!!

Grazie mille, visivamente ancora piu bello che a orecchio❤️

Благодарю за чудесную музыку,за вашу красивую оперу-это счастье,слушать Генделя!

La regia di Pier Luigi Pizzi , assolutamente originale, con una colorazione fantastica, crea una situazione onirica che mi fa pensare a Pedro Calderòn De La Barca ( La vita è sogno). La musica di Handel ( con quella di Bach ) è la massima espressione del barocco , nel quale la voce gareggia con gli strumenti e ne ripete il suono (Narciso e Eco , di Ovidio).. Siamo ai massimi livelli dell'arte musicale e scenica e giustamente John Mainwaring (Memorie della vita del fu G.F.Haendel, EDT) , raccontando la vita di Handel ne esalta la grandezza, come espressione della Natura, della Fortuna e della Provvidenza . Spettacolo bellissimo e appassionante.

A masterpiece. Great orchestration, masterful counterpoint, vocal pyrotechnics, drama, lyricism, exquisite arias that I love, "lascia ch'io pianga", "venti turbini", "furie terribili", "or la tromba", "cara sposa", beautiful duets , brilliant orchestral scenes like the "battaglia". Rinaldo represents the entire peak of the baroque essence. Handel was the best composer of operas and oratorios of the Baroque, without a doubt.

The emperor of Austria, told Mozart: "no ballet in my opera." In the case of this Handel opera the quotation should be: "no statutes or mannequin/ dolls in my opera." It's supposed to be about the crusades and the seize of Jerusalem. A few live action scenes with jousting lances and swords would be appreciated.

If some people think that these baroque opera performances are extravagant, I tell them that that is nothing compared to Handel's time. In Rinaldo, he used all kinds of scenic resources, special effects that simulated thunder and lightning, fireworks, statues, even water machines. This is known since the British writer, critic and politician of that time, Joseph Addison, said that Rinaldo was an extravagant opera, very new for people in London (that's why it was so successful) and described everything that I am saying.

This is good!😊😍👍❤️⚘️

Unlike most of today's opera directors who benefit from additional directing of the recording, this masterpiece by Pier Luigi Pizzi is best seen live.

I'll give them an A for visual stylization - set, costumes, and make-up. The production really has its own look and I am with them. Singing and vocal stylizations are excellent as well.

no subtittles

What a delight - but I struggled to watch such a visual treat in this inspiring but rather too pixilated stream. I didn't have much hope, but Naxos produced a DVD of this production in 2021, and it is available to buy on Amazon, so that's what I have gone for to get better sound and visuals. But just how clever this direction and design is - those Christian 'paragons' elevated on their mobile plinths. It's just the kind of subversive touch that the subject matter - Crusades, essentially - requires. Thanks for posting!
