J.S. Bach & G.F. Händel

Christmas Magnificat BWV 243.1 & Te Deum for the Peace of Utrecht HWV 278

Whether celebrating the Peace of Utrecht in London (Handel’s Te Deum) or the birth of Christ in Leipzig (Bach’s Magnificat, presented here in its original version): Handel and Bach relied on vocal and orchestral splendor.
