Handel's beautiful, intimate settings of liturgical texts written for the First Duke of Chandos are among his less wellknown choral works-and are proved by this second volume from Trinity also to be among his loveliest. They are a perfect example of the composer's English style heard in Acis & Galatea and oratorios such as Judas Maccabaeus.
The soloists on this recording include internationally acclaimed Handelians Susan Gritton and Iestyn Davies, and the young tenor Thomas Hobbs, whose warm, lyrical tone is perfect for this repertoire. Trinity College Choir Cambridge sing with their usual youthful exuberance tempered with elegance, style and precision, under the expert guidance of Stephen Layton.
