Handel's Esther 1720, Wigmore Hall Composed between 1718 and 1720, Esther is of major significance as Handel's first English Oratorio and thus marks the beginning of a tradition that has become so central to our musical culture. During the course of Handel's Esther we almost hear the genre of the English Oratorio emerge. It begins like a sort of ‘pastoral entertainment', becoming more operatic and finally emerging as a choral oratorio on the largest scale. The critically acclaimed Edinburgh based Dunedin Consort |
