Handel goes to Baden-Baden
NewsNext Easter’s Baden-Baen Festival will feature Handel’s oratorio Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno alongside Richard Strauss’s Die Frau Ohne Schatten.
Probably never been uttered in the same sentence before.
Both played by the Berlin Philharmonic.
I wonder when Nézet-Séguin will complete his Baden-Baden Mozart cycle (2011-18) for DG. Or has Idomeneo been abandoned?
Frau will be amazing, and the Handel will be atrocious. The Berlin Phil should play exactly zero repertoire written before (late) Beethoven.
