The Italian oratorio 'La Resurrezione' (The Resurrection) was written during Handel’s time in Rome. It was performed on Easter Sunday 1708 with great splendour and extravagance by a large orchestra conducted by Arcangelo Corelli in the Palazzo Bonelli the Roman palazzo of Handel’s patron the Marchese Francesco Maria Ruspoli. In its dramatic structure and characterisation of the protagonists the work displays a striking affinity with Italian opera. Lucifer’s raging sixty fourth notes call to mind the demon characters in Venetian opera and Maddalena’s arias are so full of expressive power and virtuosity that Handel later incorporated one of them into his opera'Agrippina'. The unusual musical richness of this work and the virtuosic and masterly shaping of the arias make it a welcome addition to any concert programme. The edition is based on the complete edition volume of the 'Halle Handel Edition' (BA 4096) making the complete music text of the oratorio available for the first time.

Par HENSEL FANNY. ?This oratorio is the third of three church works composed in rapid succession on 1831; its scoring is more abundant than that of the cantatas composed prior to it: there are five- to eight-part choruses and the orchestra is expanded to include three trombones. Once again Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn looks back in musical history, this time to the pre-Baroque era, and adds a new dimension to her own compositional language by doing so. At times modal harmonies create an ?archaic? atmosphere for the biblical texts. Performance material available on hire. ? / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
