The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists, together with internationally acclaimed Handelian Jane Glover, make their long-awaited London Handel Festival debut with a programme exploring some of Handel’s most exquisite sacred music from his years in Rome.
Bringing together music of the highly evocative traditional Vespers service, this unique programme pairs some of Handel’s thrilling early sacred works with pieces from the Cecilian Vespers by his great Roman contemporary, Alessandro Scarlatti.
