polutropeMan, if I had the patience or skill to do needlepoint, I would totally do "Tamerlane : an opera / compos'd by Mr. Handel and corrected & fugur'd by his own hand. And to render this work more acceptable to gentlemen & ladies, every song is truly translated into English verse, & the words engrav'd to the musick under the Italian" in bright red, really big, and hang it up over my bed. Certainly those words deserve the adulation of the masses.
Right, so basically you're just slapping a few arias on a CD: "while there is no specific narrative..." and "Other major Handelians playing a role include Joyce Di Donato, David Daniels, Natalie Dessay, Max Emanuel Cencic, Ann Sofie von Otter, Ian Bostridge, Vivica Genaux and Stephanie Blythe" who have all recorded Handel CDs before. So this is just sort of pointless, as far as I can tell.
