Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Dixit Dominus in G minor, HWV 232

The pairing of Vivaldi's Gloria with Handel's Dixit Dominus makes for an interesting combination with, on this occasion, the latter making the more dramatic impact with the always impressive St George's Cathedral Consort. 

Excellent choral concert for Handel Festival at Karlsruhe, featuring works by Vivaldi and Handel, which also highlight up-and-coming countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński. 

At one point in the classic 1950 film All About Eve, the inimitable theatre critic Addison DeWitt speaks reverently of his art as critic: “I have lived in the theatre as a Trappist monk lives in his faith. I have no other world; no other life – and once in a great while, I experience that moment of revelation for which all true believers wait and pray.

The Closing Concert of the Lammermuir Festival took place in the historic St. Mary's Parish Church, Haddington – the site of John Knox's ordination as a Catholic priest, some years before the volte face which saw him spearheading the Scottish Reformation. An all-Baroque programme was presented by the Dunedin Consort, animatedly directed from the keyboard by John Butt.

Überzeugten gewohnt raffinierte Gestaltung reines Instrumentalen und Johannsens Solistischen im ersten Abschnitt, trübten Balanceprobleme und – das Niveau beachtend – auch danach hinzukommendes Verschenken von Möglichkeiten die Aufführung.

Avec son Insula Orchestra et son chœur accentus, Laurence Equilbey est à la baguette d'un splendide concert Haendel où se distingue également la soprano Chiara Skerath.

Was für eine Freude, diesen begeisterten und begeisternden Stimmen zu lauschen – eine Auffahrt in den Musikhimmel für Hengelbrocks Chor und Orchester!

Sous la direction peu convaincante de Paul McCreesh, le Gabrieli Consort a livré un programme italien inégal, malgré l'incarnation brûlante de la mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg.

Gabrieli Consort & Players zelebrieren Händels Musik vorzüglich.

Un ambitieux programme Haendel dirigé par Léo Warynski clôture les Musicales de Rouen-Vallée de Seine à l’abbaye de Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville

Mardi 1er juillet était donné à la Chapelle royale de Versailles un programme intitulé “Gloire à Dieu et au roi d’Angleterre”. Six œuvres de Haendel étaient interprétées par The Sixteen, dirigés par Harry Christophers : le Dixit Dominus, les Coronation Anthems et l’ouverture de Jephta. Un concert plaisant.
