Himmelsklänge
Stefan Zweig's "Sternstunden der Menschheit" explores impactful decisions. One such moment is Handel's "Messiah." Not just a success, but Handel's resurrection from illness and failure through Jennens' biblical text. Composed in three weeks, it remains a Christmas staple despite being intended for Easter. Its blend of old and new testaments makes it fitting for any Christian celebration, making a February performance a welcome occasion.
