Handel, Alceste HWV 45, Academy of Ancient Music / Christopher Hogwood, LOiseau-Lyre 421 479-2, barcode 028942147928. The discs own booklet, scanned with the rip (scans/booklet_02.jpg), states: Recording location: St Judes, London, July 1979 (Alceste) and September 1980 (Comus). Corroborated at https://www.discogs.com/release/8773133 and https://www.discogs.com/release/3636868 (both give July 1979 for Alceste), and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alceste_(Handel), whose discography lists 1979, July for this set. The 1980 and 1982 on the back cover are the P dates and 1989 the C date of this CD issue, which is where the folder name 1989 [1980] comes from; neither is the session year. The release credits its soloists by voice type only, so the three portrayals recorded here are the ones the booklets sung texts actually name: Kirkby as Calliope (Callioppes Song, p.15; Calliope sings to Admetus, p.18), Thomas as Charon (p.16), Elliott as Apollo (p.20). Alceste and Admetus do not sing in HWV 45 - the booklet has Admetus asleep and Alceste addressed in the third person. The other soloists on the disc are Judith Nelson, Patrizia Kwella, Margaret Cable, Christina Pound, Catherine Denly, Rogers Covey-Crump and Christopher Keyte, none of whom the booklet ties to a named character. Comus HWV 44, tracks 20-25 of the same disc, is a separate work recorded September 1980 and has no findopera opera row.
