The sins of old age. Rossini’s “Petite Messe Solennelle” in its original version

Rossini composed only a few works in the last years of his life. These include the Petite Messe Solennelle which was performed privately. This chamber music version with two pianos and harmonium exists in two versions. These are now being presented for the first time in a single edition.

An outstanding string of pearls. Handel’s “Ezio”

During Handel’s lifetime Ezio only received five performances, yet the work, which deals freely with an episode from the end of the Roman Empire, deserves to be rediscovered. This is now possible, using the Halle Handel Edition as a secure scholarly basis.

The glory and misery of self-sacrifice. Handel’s “Theodora” now available for rediscovery

Happy End for Floridante? – Handel’s striking opera makes a comeback to the stage

The Handel anniversary year continues apace with three festival productions using newly-published volumes from the Halle Handel Edition: Schwetzingen is the first on 21 May with Ezio (director: Günter Krämer, conductor: Attilio Cremonesi), Halle follows on 5 June with Il Floridante (Vincent Boussard / Christopher Moulds) and Salzburg completes the trio beginning on 25 July with a new production of Handel’s last oratorio Theodora in the Großes Festspielhaus (Christof Loy / Ivor Bolton). There’s a particularly unusual contribution from the Leipzig Bach Festival: on 17 and 18 June, at the Kulturgut Ermlitz (near Leipzig), Georg Philipp Telemann’s arrangement of Handel’s Riccardo Primo will be presented for the first time using the recently-published volume in the Telemann Edition (Andreas Baumann / Michael Schönheit).
