There is much good singing to be heard in this production of what may be Handel' ' s greatest opera, and some that is truly spectacular. Most of the latter comes, fittingly, from the two principals. As Kleopatra-Yvonne Kenny, the admirable Ilia-in-the-1983 DVD of Mozart ' s Idomeneo, gives perhaps the finest performance of her distinguished career, encompassing every aspect of her music from seduction to despair by way of satirical wit without ever (and I mean this literally) losing countenance.
