About

Richard Egarr and the Academy of Ancient Music conclude their award-winning Handel cycle with this dazzling traversal of the Trio Sonatas of opus two and opus five. These works, less frequently heard than much of Handel's output, are brilliantly crafted, exciting and (above all) fun pieces of chamber music.

The Italianate singing style of the melodic writing is both virtuosic and sonorous. Handel took Corelli's 'sonata da chiesa' model and, with consummate ease, created sparklingly diverse and richly colourful works that are clearly stamped with his own unique stylistic signature.
