With Century, the artists of harmonia mundi invite you on a thrilling voyage of discovery of music through the ages. This CD, accompanied by full explanatory notes, presents nearly 150 years of musical life in a (sometimes dis-) United Kingdom which gave birth to the supreme genius of Henry Purcell, and later offered Handel an opportunity to revivify Italian opera.
