"George Frideric Handel's longest continuous collaboration with a leading singer took
place between 1729 and 1737 with Anna Maria Strada del Pò (1703-1775), a soprano
who may have sung 'entirely di petto', i.e. with a chest-like vocal production in
the head range as well, powerfully and sonorously. The investigation of her peculiar
vocal features and career, in connection with the music written for her by Handel
and other composers, involved musicological research methods as well as findings of
the historically informed performance practice. Conclusions rest on three main pillars:
the musical sources; the surviving descriptions of her singing, and period treatises;
completed with the author's practical experiences as a classical singer"
