George Frideric Handel (German: Georg Friedrich Händel; pronounced [ˈhɛndəl]) (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German-British Baroque composer, famous for his operas, oratorios, anthems and organ concertos. Handel was born in 1685, in a family indifferent to music. He received critical musical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London (1712) and becoming a naturalised British subject in 1727.[1] By then he was strongly influenced by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. from Wikipedia

Un spectacle inoubliable autour de trois ballets de Stravinsky, avec notamment Le sacre du printemps dans la version originale de Nijinski.
A Russian folk tale in two scenes. Serge de Diaghilev heard Stravinsky for the first time on 6 February 1909, the day when his Fantastic Scherzo and Fireworks were created. Diaghilev was extremely impressed by this last work. Since his Ballets Russes had already performed for a season in Paris in 1909 and were a great success, he wished to repeat the experience the following year and include a brand new work inspired by the legend of the Firebird.

"Missa Criola" is a unique work of the Argentinian composer Ariel Ramirez at 1964, that includes 5 religious hymns viewed under the prism of the rhythms and the traditional instruments of his country. The amazing beauty of the music inspired Stavros Xarhakos who arranged and directed an historical performance of Missa Criola in the Metropolitan Catholic Church of St Dionysios in Athens, the 11th April 1989. Xarhakos invited Giorgos Dalaras to interpret the vocal parts. The musical ensemble complete two more singers, a chorus and an orchestra with traditional and conventional instruments. Enjoy a wonderful album.
