Performer: Johannette Zomer

Brockes-Passion is becoming not quite the performing rarity it once was, and this outstanding performance at the Göttingen Handel Festival this year could hardly be bettered.

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

It’s not every day that a world-class Baroque orchestra comes to small towns in the north of Norway. Then again, the Nordland Music Festival doesn’t happen every day. But maybe we should back up a bit. The Nordland Music Festival is a yearly festival held in the north-Norwegian town of Bodø.
