The English Concert - Handel, Purcell
The English Concert under Harry Bicket and mezzo Alice Coote. Purcell: Suite (Dioclesian). Handel: Hercules (excpts). Purcell: Suite (The Fairy Queen). Handel: Ariodante (excpts).
Live from London's Wigmore Hall, presented by Catherine Bott.
Harry Bicket and the English Concert perform a programme that surveys early 18th-century London's operatic taste. The suites from Purcell's tragicomic semi-opera Dioclesian and his more widely know masque The Fairy Queen sit alongside selections from two of Handel's most jealousy infused operas - Ariodante and Hercules. English mezzo-soprano Alice Coote joins the English Concert with whom she has a long association.
