About

To mark the Coronation of King Charles III, we have brought together the most famous pieces of music from the coronations of James II in 1685 and George II in 1727. The masterpieces by Purcell and Handel display an extraordinarily evocative force: their "Grand Style" put a magnificent stamp on the ceremonial of the Crown of England. Drum rolls and glorious trumpet fanfares herald the acclamations of Westminster: God Save the King!

Awards and reviews

June 2023

they make a tremendous noise – Zadok is absolutely thunderous, its drumbeats sounding like cannons going off outside somewhere, and Handel’s My heart is inditing (lit by glittering bursts from the grand organ) has an urgency few will have heard in it before.

6th May 2023

The French choir is at times fuzzy, but the orchestral sound is clean and spirited, and the set is accompanied by a handsome illustrated booklet.
