This year\u2019s Christmas Concert by the Hungarian National Philharmonic does not offer a single large-scale work, but instead serves up a colourful selection of compositions representing different eras and styles. An exalted festive atmosphere in the first half will be conjured up by the joyful and dynamic yet spiritually uplifting and radiant music of Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s (1685\u20131750) Christmas Oratorio<\/em>, Cantatas 1 and 2: Jauchzet, frohlocket<\/em> and Und es waren Hirten<\/em>. Robert Schumann\u2019s (1810\u20131856) Nachtlied<\/em> (Night Song), composed in 1849 to a poem by Friedrich Hebbel, is scored for an eight-part mixed choir and orchestra. The Christmas cantata Une cantate de No\u00ebl<\/em> by the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger (1892\u20131955) dates from 1953 and was his final composition. This three-part work, written for baritone solo, children\u2019s choir, mixed choir, organ and orchestra, narrates the story of Jesus\u2019s birth. Dorottya L\u00e1ng, Bernhard Berchtold and Zsombor Cserm\u00e9nyi are dedicated performers of the oratorio repertoire who will be familiar to the audience from Gy\u00f6rgy Vashegyi\u2019s productions. Gy\u00f6rgy Vashegyi, founder and director of the Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra, is not only a central figure in Hungary\u2019s historically informed early music scene, his artistic interests also span the entire history of music, transcending genres and stylistic boundaries. In addition to the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hungarian National Choir (choirmaster: Csaba Somos), the concert also features the choir of the Zolt\u00e1n Kod\u00e1ly Hungarian Choir School, founded in 1988 by Ferenc Sapszon Jr., with Borb\u00e1la Sapszon as its choirmaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-126460","concerts","type-concerts","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.5","language":"en","enabled_languages":["hu","en"],"languages":{"hu":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":{"slides":false,"alcim":"The
