Symfonisch Orkest van de Vlaamse Opera / Federico Maria Sardelli
This is the only available complete recording on CD of Cavalli's opera Il Giasone. The plot is loosely based on the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece, but the opera contains many comic elements too. Recorded in 2010, this production is conducted by the internationally reputed baroque specialist Federico Maria Sardelli and features the promising French countertenor Christophe Dumaux.
