It is known that J.S. Bach did not composed an opera. However, as a "learned musician" he was familiar with operas of his time. In second half the 1730's he even performed with his Collegium Musicum in Leipzig several operatic arias, including two arias from the opera Alcina of his great contemporary G.F. Handel.
The discography page of Alcina on the BCW have been revised and updated. See:
Complete Recordings (56): https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Other/Handel-Alcina.htm
I believe this is the most comprehensive discography of Alcina. If you are aware of a recording of the opera missing from this page, or want to correct/add details of a recording already presented on the BCW, please do not hesitate to inform me. |
