Handel’s Dixit Dominus

Georg Friedrich Haendel
Dixit Dominus

Johann Sebastian Bach
Messe en sol mineur

Composed in his youth by Handel and premiered in Rome in 1707, the Dixit Dominus is a masterpiece of sacred music. A remarkable synthesis of German counterpoint and Italian expressivity, this jubilant and flamboyant score will be performed alongside J. S. Bach’s Mass in G minor by the Balthasar Neumann Ensembles conducted by Thomas Hengelbrock, both renowned for their interpretations of the Baroque repertoire on period instruments.
