CD of the Week- Handel Messiah

The ESO’s annual performance of Messiah in partnership with the Saint Michael’s Singers is one of the orchestra’s longest running traditions. The orchestra, under the baton of founder William Boughton, recorded Handel’s masterpiece for Nimbus in 2004.

CD of the Week- English Salon Orchestra, In the Spirit of Christmastime

The ESO: English Salon Orchestra returned to Stanbrook Abbey this December to present “The Spirit of Christmastime” – a sumptuous collection of the best Christmas and Holiday melodies. From the reflective to the jolly, there’s something about an ‘old-fashioned’ seasonal soundtrack that is hard to forget and never fails to invigorate the spirit.  Now, just in time for Christmas, the ESO are pleased to release this evening of sparkling holiday favourites as the first CD on our new ESO ENGAGE label.
