The eighty-sixth classical recording: #93 George Frideric Handel - Coronation Anthems
The four anthems in this set are known for, and paired here because of, their use in the British coronation rather than for their thematic link. The four are wonderful choral pieces, with Zodak the Priest feeling more singularly focused while others have more parts and feel more complex. As situational music, they feel more focused on their purpose and the length is more set for proceedings rather than what the piece needs. Still, that focus doesn't distract and they flow well on their own, the complexity of The King Shall Rejoice, for example, sounding wonderful. I suspect that, hearing this live, would be impressive.
