Part of our retrospective on the recordings of John Eliot Gardiner this album is dedicated to sacred music. It spans more than fifteen years of glorious recordings, mostly from the Baroque era: classic renditions of Handel oratorios and Dixit Dominus, splendid motets of Bach, pieces by Purcell, Scarlatti, Campra and more – but also includes a few pieces from the Renaissance and French romanticism.
