Belshazzar
One of Handel's finest, most remarkable, but least-performed oratorios, Belshazzar, is a work on an imposing scale - dramatic, passionate, full of fine choruses and solos - which the composer himself described as "very grand and uncommon". Catherine Bott introduces this performance, recorded a few days ago at London's Cadogan Hall .
BBC Singers, The King's Consort. conductor Robert King
