Handel Coronation Anthems

The Sixteen / Harry Christophers

Coro COR16066

Read Review

“There are plenty of very good recordings of the four anthems that Handel composed for the coronation of King George II and Queen Caroline,” wrote David Vickers of The Sixteen’s new recording of these much-loved works, “but this new one leaps straight towards the top of the heap.” With choral singing that is “wonderfully clear, perfectly enunciated, beautifully phrased and impeccably tuned,” and “brilliantly alert, bold and lyrical” orchestral playing, Harry Christophers and his choir produced a suitably celebratory disc for their 30th anniversary year.
