G. F. Handel: Coronation Anthems

Festive music! The young Handel moved to London in 1712, where he settled permanently. He worked as a court composer "For His Majesty's Chapel Royal". When King George I died suddenly during a journey in 1727, George II was proclaimed the new English king five days later. Handel was immediately commissioned to write Coronation Anthems for the forthcoming coronation celebrations. Even without the coronation, this concert is a feast for the ears! The eyes will not miss out either, as the musicians of the oboe band La petite écurie perform on historical, rarely seen instruments. Conductor and singer Michael Kreis, who is well known on the Bödeli, will conduct the concert
