Akademie Fur Alte Musik Berlin - Handel: Dixit Dominus, Laudate pueri, Nisi Dominus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It was in Rome, where he resided between 1707 and 1710, that the young Handel composed these three dazzling sacred works. The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and the RIAS Kammerchor give us an extremely lively and colorful reading of these pieces in which the composer showcased his talent allegiance to the forms of the past, total mastery of counterpoint and, already, a unique feeling for storytelling. Everything here announces musical genius. Album Tracks 1. Dixit Dominus HWV 232 for 2 sopranos, alto, tenor, bass, 5-part chorus, strings and basso continuo~I. Dixit Dominus 2.
