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.
