About this concert
Rome, 1707. In his twenties and ambitious, Georg Friedrich Händel sets out to get to know the mecca of transalpine art, its musical trends and its superstars. Soprano Stefanie True has unearthed the most beautiful melodies from two of Handel’s Roman cantatas. With a trio sonata that probably belongs to his earliest Italian works, La Sfera Armoniosa reveals just how much this young man already had to offer.
