Messiah

Description

L’Irish Baroque Orchestra et son Directeur artistique Peter Whelan ont enregistré pour la première fois le Messie de Haendel, leur œuvre « signature » qu’ils interprètent chaque année. Chose étonnante, c’est le premier enregistrement sur instruments d’époque d’un ensemble irlandais – étonnant car cette œuvre, qui est l’un des oratorios les plus célèbres, fut donnée en première à Dublin en 1742. Cette année-là, un Haendel appauvri se rendit dans la deuxième plus grande ville des ?les britanniques pour se refaire une fortune. Après la première (une audience de 700 personnes, les dames furent sommées de ne pas porter de robes à la française et les hommes d’éviter de porter le sabre), Haendel quitta Dublin les poches pleines. L’Irish Baroque Choir et quelques chanteurs de premier plan (Hilary Cronin, Helen Charlston, Alexander Chance, Nathan Mercieca, Guy Cutting, Frederick Long et Edward Grint) rejoignent le IBO pour capturer l’atmosphère de ce moment extraordinaire et tracer les origines de ce chef-d’œuvre.
