#Handel’s signature aria from his #Opera #Rinaldo HWV 7 (1711), performed on original instruments by Voices of Music, with #soprano Kirsten Blaise. Handel reworked one of his best #arias from “Il trionfo del tempo” (1707) for Rinaldo, his first London opera, and the first #Italian opera specifically #composed for the London #theatres. 👍👍👍 | Voices of Music
