The programme features Handel’s Concerto a due cori in F major and selections from the Music for the Royal Fireworks alongside beloved vocal numbers such as \"Eternal Source of Light Divine,\" \"Love Sounds th’alarm,\" and \"As Steals the Morn, Happy We!\" Telemann’s Suite in G minor for two solo violins (TWV 55:g8) adds virtuosic, dance-inflected counterpoint, while a set of Purcell’s favourite airs, fantasias and dances—arranged by Catherine Mackintosh—offers a graceful, characterful contrast to the larger ceremonial works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerformed by an outstanding roster of period specialists, the DVD pairs soloists Kate Royal and Ian Bostridge with two leading period ensembles: the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the direction and violin leadership of Rachel Podger, and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra led by conductor-violinist Gottfried von der Goltz. The result is a vivid dialogue between orchestras and voices, combining historically informed technique, spirited solo playing and sensitive vocal expression to bring fresh colour and momentum to familiar repertory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a document of contemporary Baroque performance practice, this concert captures both the grandeur of public ceremonial music and the intimacy of chamber-like vocal and instrumental pieces, making it essential viewing for enthusiasts of historically informed performance. Filmed live, the recording preserves the immediacy of the concert experience and the interplay between ensembles and soloists. Duration: 1 Hour 15 Min.
