Description

Dixit Dominus, G. F. Handel Choir, soloists & Baroque orchestra Charity concert in aid of sea rescue services Dixit Dominus: its jubilant energy and intensity strike us immediately! The musical expression is profound and rich in contrast, with a fiery and daring dramatic power, yet full of sensitivity. This constant energy, oscillating between dynamism and introspection, lies at the heart of the aesthetic of Dixit Dominus. Here, Handel pushes the expressive tension of the Baroque language to its highest degree. An early work, yet one of great maturity, in its ambition and mastery! Dixit Dominus propelled Handel to fame: a true virtuoso piece, it is a marvel of sacred music, composed in 1707 Excerpts from *The Messiah*, the finest moments! This oratorio, an immense masterpiece, ranks among the world’s greatest sacred works, with its skilful, magnificent and luminous orchestration – sparkling, popular and synonymous with joy: who does not know the famous *Hallelujah*! The Messiah has been described as a “treasure of humanity” by the writer Stefan Zweig Soloists - Soprano: Julia Barat, Camille Esvelin - Alto: Alice Pamela Baroque orchestra: Violins: David Chivers and Arthur Soulès Aguilar Violas: Marie-Aude Guyon and Pascale Jardin Cello: Damien Cotty Harpsichord & organ: Jérôme Brodin & Christian Riché Ticket office: Admission is €18 at the door or €16Available in advance from now.
