G. F. Händel: Mesiáš (2024)
A stage adaptation of the famous oratorio Messiah performed by the South Bohemian Theater, directed by Tomáš Ondřej Pilař and conducted by David Švec on the stage in front of the Revolving Auditorium in Český Krumlov... Director Tomáš Ondřej Pilař likens the oratorio Messiah to a large, luxurious box of chocolates containing the best of Baroque music. However, the path to the creation of this work was neither straightforward nor obvious. Georg Friedrich Händel was born in what is now Germany, in Halle an der Saale, on February 23, 1685. He was born into a Europe that adored opera, specifically Italian opera. What did Italian Baroque opera look like? At that time, it was a series of arias whose main purpose was to showcase the vocal abilities of the individual performers. To showcase how loud, how high, how fast they could sing, how they could change emotions during a single performance.

Antonio Caldara – Magdaléna u nohou Kristových (2010)
An oratorio about the conflict between earthly and heavenly love, with which the Italian composer applied for the position of Kapellmeister at the Viennese court, will be performed in a period style. Recording of the concert from the 2010 St. Wenceslas Music Festival at St. Wenceslas Church in Ostrava. Antonio Caldara was one of the most important composers of oratorios. The main character, Magdalene, is a popular figure in works of art with religious themes. She was identified with the sinner in Luke's Gospel, who after her conversion became one of Jesus' closest companions. In the first part, Mary Magdalene decides whether to choose the path of worldly pleasures or to repent and devote her life to God. In the second part of the oratorio, we find ourselves in the house of the Pharisee, who doubts the sincerity of Magdalene's repentance...

G. F. Händel: La Resurrezione – Vzkříšení (2010)
Recording of a concert from the St. Wenceslas Music Festival. The program of the St. Wenceslas Music Festival offered listeners a treat of spiritual music, the oratorio La Resurrezione (The Resurrection) by German composer George Frideric Handel. The work is one of Handel's early oratorios. When Handel failed to conquer the opera stronghold of the time – Venice, Italy – he returned to Rome and composed the oratorio to a libretto by Sigismondo Capace. It premiered during Easter in 1708. In this musical documentary, we will take you to the orchestra rehearsals with soloists and then to St. Wenceslas Church in Opava, where the oratorio was performed by the top Czech musical ensemble Collegium 1704, which focuses on Baroque music in its original interpretation. This time, in addition to other great soloists, it invited Martina Janková, a native of Orlová and star of the opera scene in Zurich, to collaborate.
