He starred alongside with Anna Netrebko in the Figaro Production from Salzburg (released by DG on CD and DVD) and sang his signature role Leporello in a Sir Eliot Gardiner production from Parma (released 1995 on DG/Archiv).

Expertly advised by Baroque expert, Francesco Lora, Ildebrando fashions his debut album into a panoramic sweep of Italian Handel arias for bass-baritone.

Mixing well-known and rare, lyric with highly virtuosic, Ildebrando’s phenomenal Handel shows the versatility and wide range of Handel’s compositions for bass-baritone and the vocal capacity of the singer to master this programme.

Undeniably appealing to all voice and Baroque music lovers, this album will excite music lovers well beyond.
