Auf der vorliegenden Aufnahme widmet sich der Chor des Trinity College in Cambridge einem der glanzvollsten Werke Händels: dem »Dettinger Te Deum«. Händel komponierte das geistliche Chorwerk zur Feier des Sieges der österreichisch-britischen Militärs über die französischen Truppen in der Schlacht bei Dettingen 1743 und der triumphalen Rückkehr des siegreichen Königs George II. Ergänzt wird das Programm durch das Orgelkonzert Nr. 14 und Händels beliebtes Anthem »Zadok the Priest«, ein Auftragswerk des Königs George II. zu seiner Krönung 1727.
The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, is one of Britain’s great mixed choirs. Under its new director, the mercurial Stephen Layton, it has reached new heights of musical excellence in this latest disc for Hyperion. Accompanied throughout by the Academy of Ancient Music, the choir performs one of Handel’s most florid and dazzling works, the Dettingen Te Deum, which was written to celebrate King George II’s triumphal return from the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. As might be imagined, much of this work is thrillingly bellicose, but some highly cultivated writing shows the composer’s range, expressive versatility and imagination.
The disc also includes a stylish performance of the Organ Concerto No 14 in A major with Trinity’s former musical director Richard Marlow at the organ, as well as Handel’s best-loved and most gloriously ceremonial anthem, Zadok the Priest.
- 'A magnificent Te Deum … Great singing with sprightly playing from the Academy' (Observer)
'In a performance as precise and exuberant as this (wonderfully expressive diction from the Trinity Choir), its trumpet-and-drum-fuelled extroversion comes across as elementally exciting' (Daily Telegraph)
'The performances are brilliant … The choral singing is a model of clarity and beauty and Stephen Layton leads this magnificent performance with a true sense of occasion' (Goldberg)
'On a new release by Trinity College Cambridge under Stephen Layton, all goes splendidly, the three trumpets and timpani adding to the rich sound … an exciting album' (Liverpool Daily Post)

Rezensionen
FonoForum 04/09: "Den martialischtriumphalen Gestus von Händels "Dettinger Te Deum" bringt Stephen Layton klangprächtig auf den Punkt, doch er weiß dem Werk noch manch andere Seite abzugewinnen, zum Beispiel Glaubensstärke, tief empfundene Dankbarkeit oder gar Demut. Diese Vielfalt spiegelt sich im exzellenten Spiel der Academy of Ancient Music wider (besonderes Lob für die Trompeten!), und der Choir of Trinity College vereint vorbildlich Strahlkraft mit Leichtigkeit und Transparenz. Das Orgelkonzert ist eine nicht nur brillant, sondern auch geistreich vorgetragene Zugabe."- Tracklisting
