The renowned London biographer Peter Ackroyd narrates the ambitious attempt of a team of historical experts to discover the remarkable story behind the 1717 premiere of Handel’s Water Music on the Thames. The result is the second-ever performance on the river, filmed in costume on a regal-style period barge against the backdrop of the present-day Thames from Whitehall to Chelsea. It includes performances by The English Concert of favourite movements from the F major and D major Suites.Press Reviews
“…we see the musicians moving along the river, playing Handel’s music with great spirit and with remarkable success given what might seem an impossible acoustic. London’s chronicler Peter Ackroyd narrates, and the result is a fine combination of documentary with top-class music-making. “ (BBC Music Magazine ★★★★)
