About
London Early Opera continue their programme themed around a typical evening’s entertainment at the 17th & 18th century Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, with a second collection of works by George Frideric Handel and contemporary composers of the day (John Stanley, Thomas Gladwin, John Lampe and Johann Adolph Hasse). Featuring performances by soloists Claire Bessent, Mary Bevan, Benjamin Bevan, Eleanor Dennis, Charles MacDougale, Nicky Spence and Greg Tassell, the programme evokes the carnival of music and entertainments that amused visitors in these London gardens for nearly 200 years.
The booklet notes feature images and expert commentaries on the Vauxhall Gardens by author David E. Coke and as well as conductor and musicologist Bridget Cunningham.

Reviews
"...For Handelians and for those interested in this period, this disc is probably an essential acquisition, one way or another..."
Raymond Tuttle - Fanfare - March/April 2018
"... The performances are superlative. Seven singers are involved ... Some of them combine to sing choruses. I hesitate to be too selective, but I did relish the really fine singing of Mary Bevan, with Dennis not far behind; and, among the men, tenor Tassell is a stand-out. There are an admirable pool of period-playing talents... This release matches ideally the preceding program in this sequence. Both belong in any good Handel collection."
John Barker - American Record Guide - January/February 2018
