Esther

Album by Cristiano Giuseppe Lidarti & Anne-Lise Sollied & Laurent Naouri & Opéra Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie/Pyrénées-Méditerranée & Latvijas Radio koris & Friedemann Layer

Esther is an oratorio by Cristiano Giuseppe Lidarti, composed in 1774. The work is a Classical-period sacred oratorio featuring recitative, aria and choral writing and is unusual in being set to a Hebrew libretto intended for performance by the Jewish community in Amsterdam, placing it within Lidarti's 18th-century sacred output and as an example of cross-cultural liturgical composition of the period.
