If using the CD title as a thread title is not a good thing, please change it to something appropriate.

That said, this (Xavier Sabata sings Handel’s arias)
looks

very good indeed.

Another Handel’s bad guy, also sung by Xavier Sabata (not in the CD), is priceless (to me)

(from 1.06)
The Sabata character tells the Princess if she loves him, he will bring her the head of that Faramondo, to which the Princess spits an aria at him that if he ever does such a thing, it will be his head she will want. Then the Sabata character sings this absolutely soppy aria.

As for the new CD, we’ll see if Andrew will pick up for CD Review.

If you mean me, that's fine.

Those bad guys Saul and Belshazzar are coming up in Saturday's Early Music show which is all about Jennens (exhibition at Handel House Museum very well done, runs till April).

There ought to be a follow-up CD, Handel's Bad Girls (or should that be "Dolls"?). There must be a few of them (e.g. Alcina, Armida)....
