An enticing second volume of works composed during Handel's time as a young man in Italy, once again dazzlingly performed by a trio of Bevans and Bridget Cunningham's expert London Early Opera group.

"London Early Opera plays with lemon-fresh strings and lean phrasing...Cunningham's own playing is delicate...There is far more bouyancy and colour in the vocal items...All three [Bevans] sing together in the delicious Quel fior che all'alba ride and Se tu non lasci amore, making a persuasive argument for a complete survey of the chamber cantatas." BBC Music
