BBC Proms 2004

개요

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, the English Concert is directed by violinist and conductor Andrew Manze with sopranos Emma Bell and Ailish Tynan, mezzo Catherine Wyn-Rogers and violinist Rachel Podger. The Baroque gems include Handel's My Heart Is Inditing, one of the coronation anthems he wrote in honour of George II; three arias from Arne's opera about ancient Persia, Artaxerxes; and Bach's popular concerto for two violins, which brings the first half to a close. Jean-Fery Rebel's depiction of chaos from Les Elemens and Vivaldi's exuberant Gloria conclude proceedings.
