Baroque music is often celebrated for its splendour and theatricality, but this programme reveals its more intimate side. Three voices and harpsichord explore music by Handel and his contemporaries, from Schütz and Monteverdi to Charpentier and Zelenka, bringing clarity, warmth and expressive beauty to masterpieces of the Baroque repertoire.
