Handel: Concerti Grossi Op. 3 Nos 1 & 2; Chandos Anthems

To complement our Handel special, this month’s cover disc features performances of two sparkling orchestral Concerti grossi, performed by the peerless Academy of Ancient Music. And joining the Orchestra of the Sixteen are the BBC Singers in an exciting recording of two Chandos Anthems, written for the Duke of Chandos for his Cannons residence on the outskirts of London.
