Vox Luminis
Fri 9 Feb 2018
Bach Jesu meine Freude BWV 227
Scarlatti Stabat Mater
Handel Dixit Dominus HWV 232
The Belgian early music ensemble Vox Luminis was a sell-out sensation at the 2016 Brighton Festival. Now they return with their own instrumental ensemble to perform a programme full of Baroque bravura.
From the perfect poise of Bach’s motet Jesu meine Freude and the plangent beauty of Scarlatti’s Stabat mater, the programme builds to Handel’s show-stopping Dixit Dominus, full of zest and youthful passion.
This is a feast of Baroque brilliance from one of the most virtuosic vocal ensembles around.
