<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Raymond Houser, post: 4561986, member: 96532&quot;]Here is something that ancient collectors, particularly collectors of Alexander the Great may enjoy. It&#039;s one of my favorites from George Frederick Handel. &quot;Alexanders Feast&quot;. This is one of the best performances available. It was written in 1736 in London, so is sung in English. The story describes a banquet held by Alexander the Great and his mistress Thais in the captured Persian city of Persepolis, during which the musician Timotheius sings and plays his lyre, arousing various moods in Alexander until he is finally incited to burn the city down in revenge for his dead Greek soldiers.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]UzQwFHJlkgo[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
