One of Handel's rare ventures into comedy, Xerxes parodies the conventions of opera seria. Love triangles, swaggering heroism, and all manner of operatic pretensions receive a playful tweaking in a subtle treatment that  never descends into farce. This new edition of Handel's innovative work offers an authoritative, practical, and inexpensive resource. Arrangement: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, SATB, Orchestra Price guide: £15.95 www.musicroom.com December 2006 |
