Handel’s wonderful Op.5 trio Sonatas are prime examples of the composer’s inexhaustible invention. The Handel Players are no strangers to SOMM – they feature on SOMMCD 226 Handel’s Occasional Songs and the premier recording SOMMCD 227/8 Handel: 3-Act Silla.
London Handel Players:
Rachel Brown – Flute
Adrian Butterfield, Oliver Webber – Violins
Peter Collyer – Viola
Katherine Sharman – Cello
Laurence Cummings – Harpsichord/Organ
“The Handel Players’ immaculately prepared interpretations possess subtlety and intelligence … assured and lyrical performances”. Gramophone
