'This is the first recording to use the version of Handel's Tamerlano performed at its premiere. And George Patras's Greek forces do the opera proud. In a real ensemble achievement, Nicholas Spanos is outstanding in the title-role, surmounting the vocal hurdles with ease.'

"Christoyannis is exceptional in the tenor-baritone role of the imprisoned emperor - dark-toned, stylish and devastating in the ever-astonishing suicide scene. No Handelian should miss this majestic , harrowing performance".
Hugh Canning, Sunday Times, 21st October 2007
'A Handel masterpiece from Greek forces springs a welcome surprise. This is the first recording to use the version of Handel's Tamerlano performed at its premiere. And George Patras's Greek forces do the opera proud. In a real ensemble achievement, Nicholas Spanos is outstanding in the title-role, surmounting the vocal hurdles with ease.'
