Intro
A mystical program of Italian and English music brings us the best of Baroque imagination: Chariots of Shadows carrying the night while Angels glide in the skies, bright and fair.
Starring Sharon Rostorf and a super team of PHOENIX musicians.
The program includes arias from Haendel's operas Theodora, Agrippina and Serse, the Jephta oratorio, a dramatic cantata by Alessandro Scarlatti (Notte ch'in carro d'ombre - Night that in a chariot of shadows), a sonata by Purcell, ending with Yoni Rechter 's Tears from angels, especially arranged for us by composer Jonathan Keren.
