Title: Forget this one, go for Padmore.
Product review: What can I say about this recording? Bostridge's singing is unstylish, mannered and self-indulgent. He fails to touch, and to thrill. Several of the arias on this disc weren't written for a tenor in the first place, by the way. The playing of the OAE is the only joy on this disc. For a much more adventurous, exemplary programmed cd, which moreover is infinitely better excecuted and engaging, go for Mark Padmore's superb collection of Handel scenes and arias for tenor.
