L’Allegro … ist eine Mischform aus Oratorium, Ode und Serenade und gehört zu den rätselhaftesten Werken von Händel, aber auch zu seinen genialsten! Mit der für sie typischen Poesie laden uns William Christie und Les Arts Florissants zur Wiederentdeckung dieses Meisterwerks ein, in dem der Komponist Metaphysik in Malerei verwandelt und Gedanken in reinste Emotionen.
