Handel: Agrippina: London Baroque Players (Arnold Östman) (1985)

Agrippina is brilliant, early Handel. Composed when he was just twenty-four, it was his first big hit in the theatre. It's full of his fresh, exuberantly inventive music and sets one of the finest librettos Handel worked with

Beautiful production, with an elegant and colourful staging, recorded at the exquisite Rococo palace theatre in Schwetzingen, built in 1752.
