Seelendrama

Als Händel 1741 ‒ unmittelbar nach der Fertigstellung des Messiah ‒ den Samson komponierte, befand er sich auf dem Höhepunkt seines Oratorienschaffens. Samson war einer der ganz großen Erfolge zu Händels Lebzeiten und von den Zeitgenossen gelegentlich sogar über den Messiah gestellt. Anders als die direkt dramatisch angelegten Oratorien Hercules oder Semele ist es ein Seelendrama, in dem die Arien und Rezitative nicht Teil einer darstellbaren Handlung sind, sondern die Seelenzustände der Protagonisten beschreiben. Die fesselnde Aufnahme mit dem Chœur de Chambre de Namur und dem Millenium Orchestra unter Leonardo García Alarcón entstand im Juli 2018 beim Festival Musical de Namur.

Rezensionen

»Der Kammerchor Namur und das Millenium Orchestra unter Leonardo García Alarcón zeigen bei diesem Live-Mitschnitt mit ihrem ungeheuer lebendigen Zugriff die Qualität dieses auch sehr dramatisch ausgerichteten Oratoriums.« (Fono Forum, Februar 2021)

»... beeindruckt die Wiedergabe durch eine in sich dichte Schlüssigkeit, die die Musik im besten Sinne lebendig macht.« (klassik.com)
