Description
This CD brings together two distinguished conductors in a programme of Handel at his most ceremonial and inventive. Yehudi Menuhin leads the Bath Festival Orchestra through all three Water Music Suites — the majestic Suite No. 1 in F Major, the brilliant Suite No. 2 in D Major, and the more intimate Suite No. 3 in G Major — in performances that balance period-informed sensibility with warmth and clarity. The disc is rounded out by Charles Mackerras directing the London Symphony Orchestra in the Concerto A Due Cori No. 2 in F, a work that showcases Handel’s flair for rich, double-choir orchestral texture. A rewarding survey of Handel’s finest orchestral writing, featuring some of the most respected names in 20th-century classical conducting…
