Prom 24 Part 1
Alexander's Feast was Handel's first major success in the genre of English oratorio and it so captivated Mozart that he made his own German version of the work. Based on The Power of Music, an ode for the feast of St Cecilia by Dryden, its ravishing, operatic-style arias, exuberant choruses and rich orchestral writing make a fitting tribute to the patron saint of music.
Presented by John Shea live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
