Handel: Arcadian Duets / Lamenti (2CD) Emmanuelle Ha�m During the first half of the 17th century the Lamenti became a rite of passage for all self-respecting composers of vocal music, challenging them to develop new ways of depicting extreme emotions and move their listeners to tears - as Monteverdi, Cavalli, Strozzi, Landi, Carissimi & Cesti had done. Hundred years later, Handel rely on the same kind of expressive interplay between voices to convey pain to his introspective Arcadian Duets. Units Per Set: 2
