“Handel at Home” is SOMM’s second new release in its Handel series with the London Handel Players (see SOMMCD 044). What lies behind this delicious confection of Handel Arias adapted for flute, strings and harpsichord, is Flautist Rachel Brown’s idea of putting together and re-arranging some highlights from Handel’s opera or oratorio performances.
