Baroque weekend: L'allegro, il penseroso ed il moderato Händel

Public

L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato

Approved

Laughter or contemplation? That is the question during this concert. In George Frideric Handel’s oratorio L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, three temperaments – the cheerful, the thoughtful and the moderate – discuss which attitude is better. One thing is already certain: the cheerful naturally prevails at the end. The philosophical libretto gave the composer a text suitable for setting off a fireworks of musical emotions. The favourite number in Handel’s day was the laughing aria Haste thee, Nymph. Conductor William Christie is one of the stars of the early music scene
