London Early Opera (LEO) have been established and performing since 2008 and registered as a UK charity in 2011 at the forefront of Baroque research and performance. As well as putting on operas, oratorios and concerts, they record material recently discovered and unusual programmes in a thorough historical context. All members are leading exponents of early music and offer concerts, operas, oratorios, lecture recitals and educational workshops. LEO is always keen to collaborate with other early music supporters and sponsors in the promotion of this music with new concerts and recordings. See www.londonearlyopera.org
LEO are conducted from the harpsichord by Bridget Cunningham who researches and explores the background of the music and coaches and directs the instrumentalists and singers.
This series of recordings really sets the scene of Handel's colourful life, influences and experience which inspire and nuance his magnificent output and musical legacy.
