About

'Naturally Handel' features a selection of instrumental overtures from operas and oratorios by one the best-known baroque composers. Immensely popular during his lifetime, Handel’s operas and oratorios contain some of his most beautiful music.

Also included is the duet for soprano and tenor, “Happy We”, from Handel’s pastoral masque Acis and Galatea. Composed in 1718, this duet shows another side of the composer, one of transparent lightness, refined sensuality and tenderness.
