Camerata Øresund - Handel's favourite oratorio

Program

Georg Friedrich Händel: Theodora, HWW 68

Camerata Øresund steps into Christmas with baroque music that is not traditional Christmas music, just as Handel's Messiah is not. Camerata Øresund tackles a tale of faith, sacrifice and love: Handel's Theodora. The oratorio is a tragedy in which Theodora sacrifices everything for her faith, and the work is based on religious devotion and human nature - both the good and bad sides. Theodora was Handel's personal favorite oratorio. Perhaps in the long run this will have the same status in the Christmas repertoire as Handel's Messiah?

Participants

Camerata Øresund

Camerata Øresund consists of a group of passionate baroque musicians and was founded in 2010 by Peter Spisšký. The group's members all live in the Øresund region. The group is a platform for the region's large pool of talent, such as the Swedish harpsichord virtuoso Marcus Mohlin and the Danish violinist Tinne Albrechtsen, both of whom can be found at the core of the group.

Peter Spisský

Peter Spisšký is concert master and initiator of Camerata Øresund. Peter moved from Slovakia to Sweden to study in Malmö only a few days after Czechoslovakia won back its freedom in the famous "Velvet Revolution". His efforts and interest in early music began already during his violin studies in Bratislava, where, in many ways, they were much further ahead than in the Nordic countries.
