Performer: Amsterdam Baroque Choir

Ton Koopman directs the Amsterdam Baroque Chorus and Orchestra in a distinctive and personal interpretation of Handel's Messiah.

The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra summoned the spirit of the holiday season this weekend with their performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. The work was originally composed for church services taking place during the Christmas season of 1734. Tonight’s performance featured the entire work, which was originally split into six sections, each intended for a different day.

Wie einst Händel, knüpfen Ton Koopman und Ensembles – darunter Sophie Junker und Jakub Józef Orliński – nach Esther auch mit diesem Oratorium an vorherigen Erfolg an.
