Album Review: Handel: Chandos Te Deum, Chandos Anthem No. 8
Updated:

Featuring conductor Adrian Butterfield and the London Handel Orchestra, a new Onyx Classics album showcases two of Handel’s sacred pieces—“Chandos Te Deum” and “Chandos Anthem No. 8 (“O come let us sing unto the Lord”)—in vivid re-creations of the original performance style. The pieces, written for the Duke of Chandos, were recorded in the very location where they were first performed: at the church of St. Lawrence.
