About the event
G.F. Handel: Dixit Dominus, HWV 232
J.D. Zelenka: Missa Paschalis in D, ZWV 7
Vox Luminis, dir. Lionel Meunier
Handel’s Dixit Dominus is pure musical swagger. Written by a young, ambitious Handel in Italy, the work is bursting with energy: rapid coloraturas, fierce harmonies, and an immersive intensity that doesn’t let go for a moment. Zelenka’s Missa Paschalis is equally challenging, but in a different way. Unexpected harmonic twists, irregular rhythms, and an almost contrary complexity continually confound the listener.
