Seit seiner Gründung 1980 hat sich das King’s Consort als einer der wichtigen Impulsgeber der historisch informierten Aufführungspraxis entwickelt. In Wien feiern die Musiker*innen nun mit Händels Alexander’s Feast die Macht der Musik. Die der Heiligen Cäcilia, der Schutzpatronin der Musik, gewidmete Ode aus dem Jahr 1736 besingt ein Fest Alexanders des Großen, bei dem der Jubel über gewonnene Kriege schließlich der Begeisterung für die Tonkunst weicht. Inspiriert von einem Gedicht des englischen Dichters John Dryden zieht Händel hier dem Thema entsprechend alle Register, von dramatischen Chorsätzen zu sanften Flötensoli.

Since it was founded in 1980, the King’s Consort has established itself as one of the most influential exponents of historically informed performance practice. In Vienna the musicians now celebrate the power of music with Handel’s Alexander’s Feast. The ode to Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music, was written in 1736 and describes a banquet held by Alexander the Great at which jubilation at the victories in battle ultimately gives way to delight in the power of music. Inspired by an ode by the English poet John Dryden, Handel does the subject matter justice by pulling out all the stops, from dramatic choral pieces to gentle flute solos.
