The Bach Choir
James Gilchrist (tenor), Iestyn Davis (counter tenor) and David Hill (conductor) with German performers Eva Kirchner, George Zeppenfeld and the Philharmonisches Kammerorchester Dresden performing Handel’s Messiah in Dresden’s masterpiece of baroque architecture, the rebuilt Frauenkirche.
The first English choir to sing there since the second world war.
12/05
Special notes
The ruins of the Frauenkirche stood for decades as a reminder of war’s destruction. Now, faithfully reconstructed using many of the original stones, the church is set to become one of the most important places to perform in Germany.credit: Edward Webb / ArenaPAL
