Whether celebrating the Peace of Utrecht in London (Handel’s Te Deum) or the Nativity in Leipzig (Bach’s Magnificat, performed here in its original version), Handel and Bach played the card of vocal and orchestral splendour. Flanked by an outstanding quintet of soloists, the RIAS Kammerchor offers us a flamboyant interpretation of these seminal works.
