Handel, G.F.

Description:

In his short life of 36 years, English composer Henry Purcell left many operas and stage works. As a child, he sang in choirs, and many of his religious works are masterfully written and wonderfully executed. On this album, we can hear several choral pieces, mainly in the plaintive Te Deum, as well as a voluntary for organ. The "Morning Hymn," with its beautiful boy soprano, is also a must-hear. New York Fifth Avenue and St. Thomas Male Chorus & Boys Choir give a gorgeous performance. Naxos Japan
