Contrasto Armonico
Marco Vitale
A highly original and attractive set of sacred choral works by Handel, centred around the Passion/Easter period.
The Messiah needs no introduction, it is possibly the best loved choral work ever written. The Johannes Passion is lesser known, a dramatic and powerful depiction of the suffering of Christ.
The sacred oratorio La Resurrezione celebrates the rising of Christ in jubilant and festive mood. Superb performances by the Choir of King’s College Cambridge, the Capella Savaria, and the period
performance of Contrasto Armonico conducted by Marco Vitale.
