Synopsis

Product Description

Monica Huggett and her ensemble Sonnerie scored a hit on Avie with their recording of Handel's Trio Sonatas, Op. 2. They continue their traversal of Handel's chamber works with the Organ Concertos, Op. 4, featuring soloist Matthew Halls, a brilliant young soloist who spins out Handel's endlessly tuneful works with an improvisatory flair that the composer - himself a virtuoso organist - would surely have approved of. On this CD, he plays a replica of a Baroque style chamber organ, built by Jaap Fama and Henk Klop, and owned by the Dutch Bach Society.

CD Reviews

A breath of new life!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'll make this quick: Halls is AMAZING. He and the ensemble breathe new life into what is a very fixed part of the repertoire. Take good players and great music, add rubato, interesting ornamentation, and passion, and the result is a must-have CD."
