Handel's violin sonatas are masterpieces in miniature form, unexpected of a composer famed for his grand oratorios and dazzling operas. Gramophone Award-winners Andrew Manze and Richard Egarr imbue these chamber works with a sense of theatre in their complete recording of all the extant sonatas authenticated by latest research.
