King of Italian opera in London, and master of the English oratorio, we celebrate the 335th birthday of the ‘dear Saxon’ himself. The orchestra’s principal musicians delight with Handel’s intricate chamber music while young British soprano Rowan Pierce joins the festivities with a series of Handel’s most glorious arias.
… finely focused playing, with bags of energy and an admirable sensuousness of tone from string and woodwind players.
