Live from the Royal Albert Hall, the English Concert is directed by violinist and conductor Andrew Manze with sopranos Emma Bell and Ailish Tynan, mezzo Catherine Wyn-Rogers and violinist Rachel Podger. The Baroque gems include Handel's My Heart Is Inditing, one of the coronation anthems he wrote in honour of George II; three arias from Arne's opera about ancient Persia, Artaxerxes; and Bach's popular concerto for two violins, which brings the first half to a close. Jean-Fery Rebel's depiction of chaos from Les Elemens and Vivaldi's exuberant Gloria conclude proceedings.
