Performer: Der Gemischte Chor Zürich

While the oratorio “Jephtha” is rarely performed, Joachim Krause recently conducted the Capriccio Barockorchester and some 120 singers of the Gemischte Chor Zürich to delight a Zurich audience.

Sir Edward Elgar’s hugely sonorous choral work, The Dream of Gerontius is rarely performed in Switzerland, boosting the attraction of this, its seventh performance ever inside these borders.

George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah” is pretty much everybody’s favourite Easter oratorio, and it proved no less so for the Zurich audience on Good Friday at the Tonhalle.
