Venue

The Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists present »Israel in Egypt«, one of George Frideric Handel’s most famous oratorios. The key protagonist is not a solo part, but the choir that represents the long-suffering Israelites. Luckily, the Monteverdi Choir is one of the best in the world – and an emotionally moving and musically formidable concert evening is in store. Next to his ubiquitous »Messiah«, Handel’s 24 other oratorios don’t have it easy, although »Israel in Egypt« is relatively... Read full text

English Baroque Soloists / Monteverdi Choir / Christophe Rousset

Sat, Dec 14, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, Hilary Cronin (Soprano), Keri Fuge (Soprano), Rebecca Leggett (Mezzo-Soprano), Edward Ross (Tenor), Ruairi Bowen (Tenor), Florian Störtz (Bass-Bariton), Christophe Rousset

Please note the change of artist: The Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists announced the stepping down of conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner in July after 60 years of collaboration. In Gardiner’s place, the French baroque specialist Christophe Rousset now conducts this concert. The »Messe de Minuit« by Marc-Antoine Charpentier with ten old French Christmas carols follows the country’s tradition of celebrating the good news with dancing vigour and great cheerfulness. With the two following Bach cantatas, composed for the Christmas season in Leipzig’s Thomaskirche, the ensembles return to their core repertoire. They performed all 200 cantatas by the baroque master within a year – nothing if not a mammoth project! Sir John Eliot Gardiner performs with his newly founded ensembles in the Elbphilharmonie on 7 December. Anyone wishing to switch from 14 to 7 December due to the change in line-up can return tickets already purchased.

Baroque soloists "fattoamano"

Sun, Feb 18, 2024, 17:00

Harmonie (Bamberg)

Angela Stangorra (Baroque violins), Sabine Lier (Baroque violins), Verena Obermayer (Cello), Ralf Waldner (Harpsichord)

In earlier times, anyone who gave their Opus 1 to print sent out a clear signal: They had completed their musical apprenticeship and the time had come to present their first works to the public. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, it was customary to present trio sonatas for two violins and basso continuo in such an opus 1. The Roman violin master Arcangelo Corelli did this in 1681, as did many of his colleagues.The baroque soloists of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra fattoamano will present a small selection of these opus 1 trio sonatas.

Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra / Ton Koopman

Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, Hana Blažíková (Soprano), Alex Potter (Alto), Tilman Lichdi (Tenor), Klaus Mertens (Bass), Ton Koopman (Conductor)

Wait a moment, these are the first sounds of the »Christmas oratorio« which starts this concert in the middle of summer! Yes and no: Johann Sebastian Bach often ›recycled‹ his own music and used pieces he considered particularly successful, repeatedly in very different works. Ton Koopman, expert in historical Bach performance practice, has selected three secular cantatas by the Baroque master, which celebrate name-days and birthdays of the Saxon elector prince family and include so many well-known arias and chants. On these occasions, Bach did not set to music any sacred, but secular texts. Characters from classical mythology appear here, convey good wishes to the gods and praise them. For the composer, these compositions which were performed in the open air in beer gardens in summer and in coffee houses in the winter are part of his Leipzig engagements. Two of the cantatas even bear the subheading »Dramma per Musica« – festive miniature operas with virtuoso arias, studded with outstanding soloists. Ton Koopman, who is giving his Elbphilharmonie debut with this concert, is, with his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, one of the world’s best Bach interpreters, awarded with numerous prizes. The conductor, organist and harpsichordist fully dedicated himself to the composer: »To me, Bach is the most brilliant composer in the history of music! What affects me with Bach is the tremendous balance between sense and sensibility – his music goes straight to the heart. A day without Bach is inconceivable to me!«
