Handel: The Resurrection

Date & Time
Mon, Apr 1, 2024, 20:00
The British Guardian called the ensemble Les Musiciens du Louvre »one of the best orchestras in the world«. Founded in 1982 by the conductor and oboist Marc Minkowski, it is not the Louvre’s official orchestra – no such ensemble exists. But the reference to the world-famous Parisian museum already illustrates the musicians’ mission: to bring the art of earlier centuries to life at the highest level. Appropriately enough, their forthcoming guest appearance in Hamburg at Easter features a Handel oratorio... Read full text

Résurrection

Thu, Nov 28, 2024, 20:00
La Villette, Grande Halle (Paris)
Orchestre de Paris, Chœur de l'Orchestre de Paris, Esa-Pekka Salonen (Conductor), Romeo Castellucci (Stage), Romeo Castellucci (Scenery), Romeo Castellucci (Costumes), Romeo Castellucci (Lights), Piersandra Di Matteo (Dramaturgie), Julie Roset (Soprano), Marie-Andrée Bouchard Lesieur (Mezzo-Soprano), Richard Wilberforce (Chorus Master), Filippo Ferraresi (Collaboration à la mise en scène), Alessio Valmori (Collaboration aux décors), Marco Giusti (Collaboration à la lumière)
A deeply moving production in which Romeo Castellucci conjures up an excavation simultaneously macabre and contemplative where, as if from a pit – that of the dead, that of the orchestra – Mahler's restless metaphysics, grippingly embodied, emerge.

Netherlands Handel Society: the Messiah

Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 19:30
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Koor van de Nederlandse Händelvereniging, Holland Symfonie Orkest, Rick Muselaers (Conductor), Eva Kroon (Mezzo-Soprano), Lucas van Lierop (Tenor), Frederik Bergman (Bass-Bariton), Wybe Kooijmans (Organ), David Jansen (Harpsichord), Merel van Geest (Soprano)
The Concertgebouw is right at the heart of Dutch music. That is why we love to welcome the best amateur orchestras and choirs of the Netherlands. To an amateur musician a performance at the Concertgebouw is always special, often marking the end of an extensive period of rehearsals. Please note: although these concerts are of a high standard, they are not performed by professional ensembles.

Händel: Jephtha

Sat, Dec 21, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Monteverdi-Chor Hamburg, Concerto Köln, Benedikt Kristjánsson (Tenor), Louise Kemény (Soprano), Henriette Gödde (Mezzo-Soprano), Nicholas Tamagna (Countertenor), Henryk Böhm (Bass), Antonius Adamske (Conductor)
Rousing dynamics, magnificent choruses and beguiling arias: »Jephtha« is the last of George Frideric Handel’s oratorios. He composed this grandiose late work in London almost blindfolded. The Monteverdi Choir Hamburg, which is very familiar with Handel’s choral works, will be joined by renowned soloists led by Icelandic star tenor Benedikt Kristjánsson and Concerto Köln under the direction of Antonius Adamske. The work and the cast promise an emotional concert evening. By the way: Handel’s tragic story of Jephtha fortunately ends well! This is thanks to the librettist Thomas Morell, who ensured that Jephtha’s daughter, who is doomed to be sacrificed, is saved by an angel.

Handel: Solomon

Thu, May 15, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Vokalensemble, FestspielOrchester Göttingen, Lena Sutor-Wernich (Mezzo-Soprano), James Way (Tenor), Armin Kolarczyk (Bariton), Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli (Soprano), Carlotta Colombo (Soprano), George Petrou (Director)
Even before George Frideric Handel began his oratorio »Solomon«, he apparently knew that he would have more musicians than usual at his disposal for the premiere. And so Handel took every liberty in his composition, writing for a large wind section, additional strings and powerful double choirs. The subject is made for legendary (sonic) richness: Handel places the biblical King Solomon at the centre of the action and thus the most important stages in the life of the wise ruler – the first act opens with grandiose choruses of joy at the building of the temple in Jerusalem. The second act is full of drama, in which King Solomon has to decide between two women who are fighting over a child. In a touching aria, the composer reveals the real mother’s renounced love. And in the finale, none other than the Queen of Sheba appears to philosophise with King Solomon about the power of music.

Sol per te / The most beautiful operas by Georg Friedrich Händel

Fri, Oct 18, 2024, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Krzysztof Garstka (Conductor), Krzysztof Garstka (Harpsichord), Olga Pasiecznik (Soprano), Anna Radziejewska (Mezzo-Soprano), Zespół Instrumentów Dawnych Polskiej Opery Królewskiej Capella Regia Polona
“Sol per te” is the most famous love duet between Flavia and Lepido from Georg Friedrich Händel's opera Silla – and just one of the many famous duets by the master of the genre – which will be performed this evening by outstanding female soloists: Olga Pasiecznik and Anna Radziejewska with Early Instrument Ensemble of the Polish Royal Opera Capella Regia Polona. In the emotional Io t'abbraccio from the opera Rodelinda, the title character confesses her feelings for Bertarid, as do Cleopatra and Caesar in Caro! Bella! from the opera Giulio Cesare, while in the dramatic duet Per le porte dell tormento, Rosmene and Tirinto confront turbulent passions in the opera Imeneo. This last one Händel wrote humorously, in the style of a musical comedy, in which he treated the dramatic dilemmas between heart and duty with a wink. This, in turn, influenced the music, balancing pathos and playfulness, which is rare in Händel's operas. The programme for the evening will be complemented by outstanding instrumental compositions by the German-British Baroque master. Alexandra KozowiczConcert duration: approximately 80 minutes

Leonardo García Alarcón conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bach and Handel

Fri, Oct 11, 2024, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Leonardo García Alarcón (Conductor), Andreas Wolf (Bass)
The Concertgebouw Orchestra takes flight in Baroque music when Leonardo García Alarcón is conducting. After his impressive first appearance in 2022, the charismatic Argentine conductor returns, weaving works by Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks into a festive whole, just as Bach himself would do on Friday evenings at Leipzig’s Café Zimmermann. Andreas Wolf’s rich, round bass is heard in a number of phenomenal arias from the secular cantatas (chamber operas) which Bach wrote in the same period.To celebrate the signing of the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, King George II organised a massive fireworks display. Despite it all going up in flames and the crowds fleeing, Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks, written for the occasion, was an instant success and even saved the monarch’s reputation. Still very popular to this day, particularly for its well-loved second movement – the peaceful Air for strings – is Bach’s Third Orchestral Suite. Pure bliss!
