Handel as you’ve never heard him: a genre-spanning, continent-crossing cosmopolitan, brought vividly to life by The Assembled Company.

Born in Germany, trained in Italy, and British by choice, George Frideric Handel was nothing if not cosmopolitan, and yet his music was powerfully and unmistakably his own. Founded in 2020, James Way’s dynamic new ensemble The Assembled Company thrives on that sort of creative diversity. Today they come together with Rachel Podger and Rowan Pierce – both names to be reckoned with in the world of baroque performance – to rediscover Handel’s gloriously tuneful German Arias (in a new translation by Jeremy Sams), as well as two Italian cantatas that might sound surprisingly familiar: his Messiah cantatas, containing recognisable versions of favourite music that was incorporated into the great oratorio and proving that wherever he travelled Handel never missed a trick…
