About "Hercules, HWV 60 / Act 1 : Handel: Hercules, HWV 60 / Act 1: Recit: "Banish your fears!" - Aria: "Begone, my fears"" by Catherine Denley

Handel’s 'Hercules' recitative and aria, sung by Catherine Denley, tremble with Baroque grandeur. 'Banish your fears!' commands the text, yet the strings quiver with unresolved dread. The voice rises in defiant hope, but shadows of doubt linger in every ornament.
