Handel's violin sonatas are masterpieces in miniature form, unexpected of a composer famed for his grand oratorios and dazzling operas. Gramophone Award-winners Andrew Manze and Richard Egarr imbue these chamber works with a sense of theatre in their complete recording of all the extant sonatas authenticated by latest research.
'This is baroque violin-playing without peer today.' - The Sunday Times, London
Andrew Manze plays a violin by Joseph Gagliano, Naples, 1782; bow by Gerhard Landwehr, Heemstede, 1986. Richard Egarr plays a harpsichord by John Phillips, 1993, after Nicolas Dumont, 1707.
