So here only my private recording with my numeric camera (sorry for the poor audio quality). If you like this, I highly recommend the CD: Handel: Amadigi di Gaula, naive 2007 Al Ayre Español, Eduardo López Banzo Amadigi: Maria Riccarda Wesseling Oriana: Elena de la Merced Melissa: Sharon Rostorf-Zamir Dardano: Jordi Domènech
