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.

Mit bestgehörten Ensembles von ABO&C und sensationellen Solisten endete nicht nur das Oratorium im Triumph, sondern auch der niederländische Teil Handel's Heroines in einem Jungbrunnen-Spektakel mit glücklicher Koinzidenz.
