Dixit Dominus - Beaune Festival (2025) - Dixit Dominus - Festival de Beaune (2025)

Description

"Flamboyant and spectacular, Dixit Dominus is nevertheless the work of a very young Lutheran composer who was ill at ease with the Catholic liturgy of his patrons, princes of the Roman Church. This psalm set to music was so popular that people wanted to convince Handel to convert to Catholicism – which he politely declined. Less famous, the cantata Donna che in ciel is a jewel of fervent theatricality, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and brought to incandescence by Natalie Perez and the Accents of Thibault Noally."
