Zadok the Priest was written as an anthem to celebrate the coronation of King George II in 1727. I believe it has been used for every British coronation since. Truly splendid pomp from the German-British composer, a delightful feast for the ears.

This recording made in Westminster Abbey by The English Concert seems as fitting as any and sounds excellent.

Just trying a variety of types of classical to suit different tastes.
