"A remarkable recording." - REPERTOIRE
The nature of Alexanders Feast is perhaps better summed up by its other title, The Power of Music. It is a celebratory ode for St. Cecilias Day, written by Dryden in 1697 for the traditional celebration of the patron saint of music and set in celebratory style by Handel in 1736. At its first performance that year, he incorporated two delightful concertos, one for harp and one for organ, and these are included on this recording. Winner of the Deutschen Schallplattenkritic prize.
