very beautiful performance(and a very soothing video too!). unlike a lot of classical music i'm actually quite familiar with this one, since i had to play it for a singer. there are other great pieces from Rinaldo that would do well with this kind of treatment. i'm thinking especially of Armida's Ah! crudel, Il pianto mio.
What nice things to say Very kind. Thank you.
Best wishes,

]]>Händel: ''Lascia ch'io pianga'' from opera Rinaldo, a Baroque opera, an extraordinary theatrical and musical experience.
In Lascia ch'io pianga, the abducted Almirena, who is the love of Rinaldo's life, sings of her poignant fate in the enchanted garden of Armida.
I was looking for a sound similar to two trumpets (flugelhorn) and trombone playing at the same time, so here is my new ”two trumpets-sound”, maybe the 11th / the eleventh in the scheme (There are more than 10 different types of trumpets).
When my friend told me he is playing trumpet, I asked (just for fun) which one - the Bb one? the C trumpet? the Bb pocket trumpet? the p trumpet? the D trumpet? the C trumpet? the Piccolo trumpet? The Cornet? the Flugelhorn……….
Well, after this, is it right to say I’m playing keyboard - Which one?….piano? harpsichord? organ? stage piano Yamaha cp 80? …….
Let’s say this is my ”Organflugelteqhorntrumpet” as soloist in Lascia ch'io pianga'
Best wishes,
