Review :
'OUP has brought out a new edition of 16 alto cantatas by Handel based on manuscripts held in the Bodleian library. Some of these have been previously available but a few are unique to this edition, others are here in their complete version for the first time and the included original ornamentation is a valuable resource in its own right. This is a beautiful and scholary volume - in its performance advice, its realisation of the figured bass and its annotation of ornamentation achieves a a balance between clarity of text and space for the flexibility this style requires. These arias can be performed by countertenors, mezzos or altos.' [ungramattical, but that's what it said] Pamela Lidiard, Music Teacher July 2002 'OUP have sent a magnificent volume of Cantatas for Alto and Continuo. This contains no less than 16 Cantatas, all to Italian texts, edited with great care by Ellen T. Harris ... English translations appear at the end, and there are copious editorial notes. The realisations are highly satisfactory. This is a valuable and immensely worthwile production. A particularly useful aspect is that many of the cantatas show more period ornamentation than can be found elsewhere, and so provide excellent models for young singers to study.' Singing Winter 2001 ' ... but this is an interesting volume and should be seized upon by altos (of both sexes) ... The scholarship lying behind this volume is first rate, but its main value is in providing at what is in 21st-century terms quite a low price such a cornucopia of excellent and mostly unknown music ... This is a solid publication (singers will need a music stand or a memory) that deserves wide circulation.' Early Music Review December 2001
