Dunedin Consort plays Handel

Dunedin Consort plays Handel

Presented by Saffron Hall

Acclaimed Soprano Nardus Williams joins forces with Dunedin consort for this spectacular concert.

A fiery, all-Handel programme, delving into the extraordinary music he composed while in Rome. This is where Handel mastered his mature Italian style, its richness and theatricality a defiant reaction to a papal ban on opera that in turn saw his cantatas and oratorios become glorious, virtuosic showcases.
