The last Metastasio/Hasse collab failed - well - 15 year old young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed his opera "Ascanio in Alba" at the same time and Hasse said: This young boy will make us be forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!
An august (majestic) overture with like a little 'pastoralle' intermezzo. :-) By the way, the music matches pretty fine with the baroque painting in the background.
Amazing! Hasse's style changed a lot over the years.
Of course! His carreer spanned over half a century-from late baroque to early classicism.

Unbelievable how music could 'fail' back then, everything is so beautiful!

Ruggiero writing about Ruggiero ! Parla italiano? Un piacere ascoltare questa bella musica, vero?
Si, si, in verità questa musica è un piacere. I speak some Italian and I find it very beautiful. My native language is Portuguese.
Musikalisches Ende einer Epoche!
grossartige Ouverture!
Performers: Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie, conducted by Reinhard Goebel
It is played a bit slowly compared to the complete recording conducted by Arnold Bosman in 2000.
