Since its premiere at the Chapel Royal in St. James Place on November 27, 1743, Händels Te Deum for the victory of Dettingen has been regarded as one of the greatest choral masterworks in the English language. Grandiose choruses, finely wrought vocal solos, a festive orchestration and brilliant word-painting deliver a profoundly moving and uplifting listening experience. For those unfamiliar with the Dettingen Te Deum, this is an excellent opportunity to explore the works many treasures for themselves. The heartbreaking simplicity Symphony for two clarino trumpets alone is worth the price of admission!
