Various - Keiser: Pomona

Reinhard Keiser is regarded as one of the most important German opera composers of the baroque era, and his Pomona forms the ideal introduction to the world of the German-language baroque opera. The Victory of the Fruitful Pomona has first-class poetry and music and is an extremely entertaining work; a model example of vibrant musical theatre, it offers audiences a kaleidoscope of personalities, ranging from the girlish Pomona to the elderly Jupiter.
