Weihnachtskonzert des Bach Ensemble Luzern: Der Messias (Händel/Mozart)
Overview
Intro
Handel's Messiah in a classical arrangement by Mozart, captivating in its colorful sonority.
A Handel Messiah by Mozart? - Mozart arranged various oratorios by Handel, including the Messiah! These were then performed at Sunday matinees - in "classical" color!
Mozart as arranger means here: Mozart appears as an interpreter. He interprets on various levels. He intervenes in Handel's relatively open dramaturgical sequence with cuts. In some choral passages he "registers", changes colors and dynamics by dividing choral passages between soloists and choir. The decisive factor, however, is how Mozart changes the sound: He gives the Messiah a contemporary "classical" guise that corresponds to the taste of the late 18th century. Clarinets and horns decisively soften the angular baroque sound. A coherent "interpretation" of this score through Mozart's interventions awaits the audience!
