Handel Concert: Soloists, Choir and Orchestra

Route de Gorreker, Abbaye

Dixit Dominus is the best-known work of this period, arising from Handel's vibrant youth. This radiant sonic fresco, inspired by Baroque Rome, is characterized by intense and contrasting musical expression. Its expressive intensity is extraordinary, its dramatic power blazing, imposing and spectacular, impetuous and bold, full of sensitivity. The work is structured by alternating rhythms, textures, and distinct moods, creating a remarkable dramatic effect. This constant energy, between dynamism and inner life, lies at the heart of the aesthetics.
