Background: The world renowned and multi award-winning French soprano, Sandrine Piau, presents an intimate recital exploring the religious and philosophical aspects of Handel’s oeuvre. For Handel the soprano voice may assume many different guises: as angelic messenger, as the herald of hope and reason, or glorifying music itself. It can also express the deepest sufferings and transcend them in an ecstasy worthy of the greatest mystics.

A highlight is the stunning duet, ‘As steals the morn upon the night’ from L’allegro, Il penseroso, ed Il moderato and also features the internationally acclaimed Finnish tenor, Topi Lehtipuu.
