Joyce DiDonato brings the roguish charm of Handel's leading lady to life in this sensational recording of Agrippina, with Il Pomo d’Oro and their chief conductor Maxim Emelyanychev.

Alongside Joyce is a magnificent cast of established and rising stars that includes Franco Fagioli, Elsa Benoit, Luca Pisaroni, Jakub Józef Orliński, and Marie-Nicole Lemieux.

"Agrippina feels like the most modern drama," Joyce DiDonato told The Observer. "The story unfolds like rolling news today. And I keep saying, ‘This is genius. How did Handel know the human psyche so profoundly?’"
