GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL
Handel: Coronation anthems
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, RIAS-Kammerchor Berlin, Justin Doyle
[ Harmonia Mundi / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 28 April 2023
In 1727, having just become a naturalised British subject, Handel was commissioned to write a set of anthems for the coronation of George II. Since he could hardly have expected ever to see a more majestic occasion, the composer took full advantage of it to put on a musical firework display of unprecedented splendour. The RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin give thrilling accounts of these flamboyant works - some of which are still used today at each new coronation!
