About the programme
“You are the light of the world.” These words of Jesus stand as an invitation at the centre of the impressive sacred oratorio by north German composer Neithard Bethke. Starting with the opening words of the Latin mass of the dead “Lux Aeterna”, he sets texts by the prophets, baroque mystics and contemporary poets which feature the “eternal light” in their content. The composition stretched over ten years, and it has been another ten years until the large-scale, opulently-scored work can now finally receive its premiere.

About the programme
Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel is rising as a newly-discovered star in the baroque musical heaven. A contemporary of Bach, who held him in high esteem, he was director of Frederick II’s court ensemble at Gotha. His rich output has largely disappeared – only a few works survive by chance, including his Passion setting by the much-loved baroque poet Barthold Heinrich Brockes. Exactly 300 years after its composition, the previous rediscovery of his Brockes Passion captivates through its vivid drama, strong lamentation and soulful comfort.

About the programme
Two women stand at the foot of the cross: the “sinner” Mary Magdalene, torn between her fear of damnation and her hope of redemption, and Jesus’s mother Mary, who rebels against God’s counsel because she has to see her son die. Two highly dramatic scenes from the Italian baroque by Antonio Caldara and Giovanni Battista Ferrandini, performed by the entirely female baroque ensemble Giardino di Delizie from Rome and Italian soprano Roberta Mameli.

About the programme
Handel’s best-known oratorio “Messiah” tells the story of Jesus’s salvation, from the prophecies of the Old Testament to the birth, the Passion and the resurrection of the Saviour to his hoped-for return on the Day of Judgement. The Romantic Friedrich Schleiermacher enthused: “As Jesus was received by the choir of angels, so we accompany him with music and song to the great Halleluja of the ascension; for me, music such as Handel’s ‘Messiah’ is, as it were, a shortened promulgation of the whole of Christianity.”
