Handel : Coronation Anthems

Description

Just naturalized as a British subject, Handel was commissioned to compose hymns for the coronation of George II (1727). Not imagining he would ever experience a more majestic occasion, the musician took the opportunity to unleash a musical fireworks display of unprecedented lushness. The RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin exalt these flamboyant pages – some of which are still used today for every new coronation!
