About

Alexander’s Feast is an oratorio in the best traditions of the English Cecilan odes. These are festive works intended to honour the patron saint of music. Completed shortly after being nursed back from ill health in 1736 Alexander’s Feast became one of Handel’s most popular choral works. This beautifully recorded and presented 2 CD set truly demonstrates the splendour of this work.
