Bajazet by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) ; various soloists ; Europa Galante directed by Fabio Biondi
In the eighteenth century there were more than 50 operas produced based on the story of Bayazid and Tamerlane. Vivaldi's effort is a pasticcio, a common practice in those days. Most of it, including the recitatives, was written by Vivaldi himself, but tunes from other composers were lifted for use in some parts. The Venetian style of singing is represented by the heroes and heroines and are Vivaldi's own compositions. The Neapolitan style of singing is represented by the villains, and is music by other composers.
First performed at Verona in 1735, the video for this production was filmed on April 12-13, 2004. These days much opera, especially baroque opera, from expense alone, is not performed publicly, but rather, recorded in the studio. These clips give you a chance to see the performers doing this: It's interesting to see them busy in their work-a-day attire.
Synopsis
The action takes place in the Royal Palace at Bursa, the capital of Bithynia, where the Ottoman Sultan Bajazet, defeated by the Tartar Emperor Tamerlano, is being held prisoner ...
Some excerpts:
Barbaro traditor - David Daniels, countertenor (Tamerlano, Emperor of the Tartars)
5zOkmjKAOkc
Dov'è la figlia - Ildebrando D'Arcangela, bass-baritone (Bajazet, Emperor of the Turks, prisoner of Tamerlano)

Bayazid and Timur Lenk
To the people of Venice, Bayazid the First -- a supposedly invincible strategist who ruled over a vast empire on the threshold of the Christian West, and an arrogant sultan who vowed that the throne of Saint Peter would one day serve as his horse's manger -- was the ultimate enemy. But his defeat in battle by Tamerlane (at Ankara on 28 July 1402) and subsequent humiliation also made him a deeply tragic figure. Tamerlane (or Timur Lenk, 'lame Lord' -- he acquired the name because of a limp) had already established himself as one of the bloodiest tyrants in history. The legendary ferocity and limitless cruelty of (in his own words) 'the one whom God created in his anger and to whom he gives total power over those that he delivers up to his fury' had made him the personification of terror in an era when terror itself had already been pushed to new limits. A terrifying figure, he carried to an almost scientific degree of abomination the ancient Mongol practice of constructing towers of severed heads, built as a sign of victory before devastated cities (120 towers each consisting of 750 heads were built outside Baghdad), and did his utmost to brand his image in the memory of the peoples he had conquered by the most brutal means.

in the US there is a tv channel called Weatherscan. It plays music over a weather report graphic all day long. I have been fascinated by the music just as a genre or something. It can sound pretty corny but, I like the idea of making music for a purpose of a niche market.

"I Got You" | Split Enz
True Colours, the fifth album released by New Zealand band Split Enz, was their first major commercial success
So, keep on trying. The fifth time could be the charm.
