This work »surpasses everything ever performed before in this or any other kingdom,« the press exulted when George Frideric Handel performed his new oratorio »Messiah« in Dublin on 13 April 1742. Today, Handel’s »Messiah« is a standard ingredient of the Christmas-time concert repertoire. And London’s award-winning Tenebrae Choir under the baton of Nigel Short is making its Elbphilharmonie debut with what must be the composer’s best-loved oratorio. They are accompanied by top soloists and the famous Academy of Ancient Music, which makes this Christmas classic shine on original instruments.

Messiah HWV 56

Academy of Ancient Music / Tenebrae Choir / Short: Messiah Händel

The Dublin concert hall was packed to the rafters on the night of 13 April 1742. To ensure everyone could be accommodated, the men had to leave their swords outside and the women could not wear crinoline. What they experienced was truly remarkable. No less a figure than London’s uncrowned opera king Georg Friedrich Handel was visiting Ireland – with his own organ and a brand-new oratorio titled »Messiah«. Needless to say, it was an overwhelming success.
