Who will give us eternity?
In 1707 in Rome, Handel was only 22 years old, but his Triumph of Time and Truth already revealed him as an accomplished composer. Beauty is encouraged by Pleasure to seize the day, while Time, facing the ‘mirror of Truth’, warns her against Disillusionment and neglecting her salvation. While moral wisdom prevails, the young Saxon’s music never renounces sensual pleasure.
Le Banquet Céleste continues its exploration of Handel’s early works, begun in Beaune with La Resurrezione. Simon Proust, winner of the 2025 Victoire de la musique classique in the ‘Conductor Revelation’ category, leads a young and brilliant cast.
