SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Georg Friedrich Händel: Saul
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Hardly any other work of Baroque music has such a clear-sighted impact=0D=0Aon the present as George Frideric Handel’s oratorio Saul. Written in=0D=0ALondon in 1738, it tells the ancient story of the first king of=0D=0AIsrael, whose jealousy of the young hero David leads to tragedy. But=0D=0ASaul is more than biblical history – it is a musical psychogram=0D=0Aabout power and humanity, about the dangerous pull of fame and the=0D=0Aprice of political vanity. Anyone looking today at the tensions=0D=0Abetween authority and change, old and new, will discover in Handel’s=0D=0Amusic an almost timeless reflection of our social and political=0D=0Aupheavals.=0D=0A=0D=0AWith luminous choruses, haunting arias, and orchestral drama, Handel=0D=0Acreates a gripping psychological drama that goes far beyond the=0D=0Areligious subject matter. The characters are impressively portrayed:=0D=0Athe fanatical fury of the king, David’s gentle strength,=0D=0AJonathan’s loyalty, Michal’s quiet love. Virtuoso choruses=0D=0Aalternate with moving arias and instrumental surprises – including=0D=0Athe organ, which Handel himself played. This tonal diversity creates a=0D=0Adramatic force that extends far beyond the sacred.=0D=0A=0D=0ASaul is a work about people in extreme situations – shockingly=0D=0Arelevant in times of global power games, vulnerable democracies, and=0D=0Apublic spectacle. Handel’s music does not ask about winners or=0D=0Alosers, but about human dignity in the storm of emotions. An oratorio=0D=0Athat is more than a stage action: a musical mirror of our times.=0D=0A=0D=0APERFORMERS=0D=0A=0D=0ASYMPHONISCHER CHOR HAMBURG choir=0D=0A=0D=0AELBIPOLIS BAROCKORCHESTER HAMBURG orchestra=0D=0A=0D=0AJONATHAN MICHIE bass=0D=0A=0D=0ATOBIAS HECHLER alto=0D=0A=0D=0AILKER ARCAYÜREK tenor=0D=0A=0D=0AMAGDALENE HARER soprano=0D=0A=0D=0AKAROLA SOPHIA SCHMID soprano=0D=0A=0D=0AMATTHIAS JANZ director=0D=0A=0D=0APROGRAM=0D=0A=0D=0AGEORG FRIEDRICH HÄNDEL=0D=0ASaul / Oratorium in drei Akten HWV 53=0D=0A
