Description
Who will get us eternity?
In Rome in 1707, Handel was only 22 years old and his Triumph of Time and Disillusionment already reveals an accomplished composer. Beauty is encouraged by Pleasure to seize the day, while Time, faced with the "mirror of Truth", warns her against Disillusionment and forgetting her salvation. If moral wisdom prevails, the young Saxon's music never gives up on voluptuousness.
Le Banquet céleste continues its exploration of Handel's early works, begun in Beaune with La Resurrezione. Simon Proust, winner of the 2025 Classical Music Prize in the "Revelation Conductor" category, leads a brilliant young cast.
