Sex and power, jealousy and rage, despair, menace, death—the haunting themes of Baroque opera. With arias and duets from Handel’s operas Amadigi, Alcina, and Rinaldo, mystery writer Donna Leon creates the tale of THE ABANDONED SORCERESS (La Maga Abbandonata)—a story about three sorceresses and the heroes they love, who in song tell of the excesses and pains to which they have been driven by their passions.
Featuring the seductive voices of Simone Kermes and Maite Beaumont, beautifully accompanied by Alan Curtis and LL Complesso Barocco.
Special bonus track includes Donna Leon reading a passage from her best-selling book Acqua Alta.
