In this dazzling programme, that giant of 18th century London, George
Frideric Handel, is heard in the context of his immediate contemporaries
and rivals. Including music by Giovanni Bononcini, described by Burney
as that "true genius of the Italian language", Geminiani and
the composer, churchman and diplomat Agostino Steffani, this concert
displays virtuosic and enthralling duets, cantatas and sonatas.
