''Alceste'' ("Alcides"; HWV 45, HG 46b, HHA I/30) is a masque or semi-opera by George Frideric Handel. It was written as incidental music to a lost play by Tobias Smollett, which was rehearsed at Covent Garden Theatre but never performed. There was an overture and songs for Acts 1 and 4, 19 movements in total. It was composed from 27 December 1749 to 8 January 1750. Handel later used the music in ''The Choice of Hercules'', HWV 69, and revivals of ''Alexander Balus'', HWV 65, and ''Hercules'', HWV 60. ==Recordings== Handel: ''Alceste'' - Academy of Ancient Music *Conductor: Christopher Hogwood *Principal singers: Emma Kirkby, Patrizia Kwella, Judith Nelson, Paul Elliott, David Thomas, Margaret Cable *Recording date: *Label: L'oiseau-lyre London/Decca - 421479 (CD) Handel: ''Alceste'' - Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu *Conductor: Franck-Emmanuel Comte *Principal singers: Stéphanie Révidat, Roxanne Comiotto, Jean Delescluse, François Bazola *Recording date: August 1997 *Label: Absalon (Musicsoft/Media 7)/LCHD897 (CD) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alceste (Handel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
