sawylInspired by the English Baroque Solists' absolutely delightful performance of Vivaldi's Gloria on the radio this morning, here's their version of Handel's Dixit Dominus recorded live in the chapel of Versaille in 2014.
The Monteverdi Choir are outstanding, especially in the punchy opening. The solists are fantastic, especially in the delicate de torrente in via bibet — the singers are uncredited but after a bit of digging I suspect they're Katy Hill and Miriam Allan — and I just love the sound of the continuo in the final gloria a patri.
