Mary Bevan and Davina Clarke released an album called ‘Sweet Stillness’ – an all-Handel programme featuring the Nine German Arias – on VOCES8 Records last year. Our reviewer, Lindsay Kemp, noted ‘Clarke’s delicate and sensitive partnering – nowhere better shown than in the moving title-track “Süsse Stille, sanfte Quelle” – contrasts with her more carefree and assertive way with two Handel sonatas, vividly supported by the continuo section.’

Today's video is a live performance of ‘Süsse Stille’ by Mary Bevan and Davina Clarke, an excerpt from their ‘Sweet Stillness’ concert, which is part of this year's LIVE From London Summer festival.
