About this product
This recording from the 2018 Göttingen Handel Festival presents two rarely heard works by George Frideric Handel InchThe Choice of HerculesInch and the InchTe Deum for the Victory of DettingenInch. In InchThe Choice of HerculesInch from 1751, Handel musically processes the mythical theme of Hercules at the crossroads, whereby Hercules' vacillation between virtue and lust is ideal for the back and forth in the search for the right path in life. The InchDettingen Te DeumInch (HWV 283) is a cantata composed by Handel in 1743. On 27 June 1743, the British army and it's allies under the command of King George II had defeated the French army at the Battle of Dettingen. Handel was commissioned to write a Te Deum Inchwith timpani and trumpetsInch for the victory celebrations. Laurence Cummings, the Handel Festival Orchestra, outstanding soloists and the legendary Christ Church Cathedral Choir from Oxford provide the successful performance.
