Il Giardino Armonico | NFM Choir | Giovanni Antonini

«Er nahet sich der holde Lenz, schon fühlen wir den linden Hauch, bald lebet alles wieder auf.» «Frohlocket ja nicht allzu früh! Oft schleicht, in Nebel eingehüllt, der Winter wohl zurück und streut auf Blüt und Keim sein starres Gift.» Unreliable weather conditions have become more frequent in recent years – some of them however, were already well known to Joseph Haydn, who set them to music in his oratorio “Die Jahreszeiten“. Here is a snippet from the “Spring“ part, as performed by Il Giardino Armonico, the NFM Choir, and Giovanni Antonini at Lucerne Festival 2023. ____ @lucernefestival
