To mark the 250th anniversary of Handel's death, Vienna's Theater an der Wien realized a truly extraordinary project The staging of Messiah.
Known as a creator of astonishing images, stage director and visual artist Robert Wilson delivers a magnificent production of Mozart's adaption of Handel's Messias. Mozart was commissioned by Gottfried van Swieten to modernize the score fifty years after Handel's popular composition (1742), mainly by arranging the wind parts and partially re-composing them. With Marc Minkowski a conductor has been engaged who understands perfectly how to combine baroque style with the tonal possibilities of an orchestra of the classical period like the Musiciens du Louvre. The excellent soloist quartet with Elena Tsallagova, Wiebke Lehmkuhl, Richard Croft and José Coca Loza merges perfectly into Wilson's enormous flood of images.

The renowned St. Thomas Boys' Choir of Leipzig, which boasts J.S. Bach as a former cantor, celebrates it's 800th anniversary with an extraordinary interpretation of the peerless St. Matthew Passion. The Guardian praised the performance, noting that Bach's harmonies Inchinterwove with a transcendence that can only be achieved through living, eating, and working together.Inch This production is the only audio-visual of the passion. It comes to life here, performed by the choir for which it was written, in the place where the composer worked and is buried.
