by Luigi Speranza for "Gli Operai" jlsperanza@aol.com
from online source:
In ensuing seasons Handel did periodically have other Italian tenors in his company, namely Luigi Antinori, Annibale Pio Fabri, and Giovanni Battista Pinacci. It is significant to note that Tamerlano and Rodelinda (the two operas in which he composed roles specifically for Borosini) were only revived selectively during Handel’s lifetime, and only when he had a suitable tenor at hand. Tamerlano had to wait until 1731 for its only revival, with Pinacci in the role of Bajazet.
