Click a CD cover for more details

Music composed by Handel in English appears here, whereas the Brockes Passion - one of very few of his settings of a German text - appears on the page devoted to other (non-JSB) German baroque music. Over the years, Harvey has recorded various versions of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas, togther with various Odes and verse anthems. His group, the Magdalena Consort has collaborated with Fretwork and His Majestie's Sagbutts and Cornetts on Gibbons' consort anthems, a disc which will soon be followed by another of music by Byrd, Bull,Mundy, Morley and Hooper.
