Handel: Il Caro Sassone

Soprano Lucy Crowe joins The English Concert led by Harry Bicket in this dazzling programme of Handel arias and cantatas dating from his sojourn in Italy, where he was affectionately dubbed “the dear Saxon”.

Tanti Strali al Sen mi Scocchi

This duet explores the titillating nature of love and desire, depicted with effervescent excitement at its beginning, contrasted with the weight of the possibility of its loss.

In conversation with Lucy Crowe

We met with Lucy Crowe during our recording of Rodelinda. We talked about what she got up to during lockdown, our upcoming programme, Handel – The Italian on the 9th of October, and realising your dreams.
