A feast of Handel, featuring both his first and his best-known oratorio, as well as a beautiful love story from Czech folk mythology.

Presented by Ian Skelly

Handel reinvented the oratorio form and it is fascinating to compare the allegorical "The Triumph of Truth and Disillusion", his first work in the genre, with Messiah, which remains one of the most-loved pieces of classical music.

Love is in the air for Czech composer Josef Suk, whose delightful Fairy Tale draws on mythical passion and magic.
