Handel: Dettingen Te Deum; Zadok the Priest; Organ Concerto No. 14
About this Artist
About This Item
The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, is one of Britain's great mixed choirs. Under its new director, the mercurial Stephen Layton, it has reached new heights of musical excellence in this latest disc for Hyperion. Accompanied throughout by the Academy of Ancient Music, the choir performs one of Handel's most florid and dazzling works, the Dettingen Te Deum, which was written to celebrate King George II's triumphal return from the 1743 Battle of Dettingen. As might be expected, much of this work is thrillingly bellicose, but some highly refined writing shows the composer's range, expressive versatility and imagination. The disc also includes a stylish performance of the Organ Concerto No. 14 in A major with Trinity's former musical director, Richard Marlow, at the organ, as well as Handel's best-loved and most gloriously ceremonial anthem, Zadok the Priest. -- From the Label
