Beautiful Music NOW - Music for the Royal Fireworks

BBC

What's an Independence Day holiday celebration without fireworks? On the eve or our national holiday, today's Beautiful Music is a live performance of George Frideric Handel's MUSIC FOR THE ROYAL FIREWORKS. Hervé Niquet conducts Le Concert Spirituel in this July 2012 concert at Royal Albert Hall as part of The BBC Proms in London.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
