Berlioz

L’enfance du Christ (The Childhood of Christ), Op. 25 oratorio in French

What could be a more beautiful sounding gift one week before Christmas than a three-part oratorio that is unknown in Hungary and recalls a less well documented part of Jesus’s life, the Redeemer’s childhood? Hector Belioz worked on the compo-sition from 1850 to 1854 and the opus deals with the episode of Jesus’s life when the holy family fled to Egypt. The concert by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir will be conducted by György Vashegyi, a man committed to preserving the riches of French musical culture, while the soloists for L’enfance du Christ will be Cyrille Dubois, Antoinette Dennefeld and Thomas Dolié.

Presented by: Hungarian National Philharmonic
