A cantata, some sonatas, and whatever else we missed on our musical celebration of Handel and his time.
We continue our long and fruitful association with our partners at Radio Netherlands in presenting a series of concerts from the 2009 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht. The RNW web site provides more in-depth information about the music and performers we hear as well as more information about the festival (www.rnmusic.nl). The primary theme for 2009 was the 250th anniversary of the death of Handel and the 350th of the birth of Purcell.
RNW has also prepared a short YouTube video introduction to the festival for this year:
