Composer: JAMES NARES & HANDEL

Information:
“Julian Perkins is a firm favourite with our audiences at Handel House. He combines an unflappable and personable manner with an expert knowledge of the Baroque era, and of Handel in particular.” – Handel House Museum, London This is the first complete recording of James Nares’s eight brilliant harpsichord suites of 1747. Organist of the Chapel Royal, James Nares epitomizes the late English Baroque style; one which takes after the keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and Thomas Arne. From performances for Trevor Pinnock at the Handel Halle Festival to a solo at the Paris Fashion Show for Alexander McQueeri, Julian Perkins pursues a diverse and demanding career. Primarily a Baroque and early Classical music specialist, he performs with leading singers, ensembles and opera companies in the UK and abroad, and directs The British Camerata and Morley Baroque Consort.
