GRAMOPHONE – 5O GREATEST HANDEL RECORDINGS

“Stephen Layton is on a roll … his inspirational direction and choice of top soloists makes this a welcome addition to earlier recordings.” – The Observer

Written for the Duke of Chandos’s short-lived ‘English Versailles’ at Canons Park, Handel’s ‘Chandos Anthems’ show the composer still burning hot with the influence and inspiration of Italy. Emma Kirkby leads an outstanding cast of soloists; the Academy of Ancient Music provide peerlessly authentic orchestral support.
