En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Messiah, HWV 56: I know that my redeemer liveth

The Rias-Kammerchor and the Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin perform pieces by J.S. Bach, Handel and C.P.E. Bach.

For this Christmas concert we were transported from the Auckland Philharmonia’s usual venue at the Auckland Town Hall to the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. It was interesting to compare the sound of the orchestra; the cathedral has a slight echo that seemed to boost the richness of the orchestra’s sound, at times (like at the climax of Bizet’s Farandole) becoming almost shockingly loud.
