In the snake pit: Les Accents and Thibault Noally
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
begin to doubt God. In His rage, He sends a plague of snakes. What can help now? Johann Adolf Hasse expresses the whole range of human emotions in his music to Serpentes ignei in deserto: Anger, fear, hope, confidence. The ensemble Les Accents, founded by baroque violinist Thibault Noally, delights audiences with its fresh and unconventional style of music-making, and is regarded as a leading ensemble on the early music scene. The ensemble has rediscovered this striking oratorio by Dresden court conductor Hasse.
