Dixit Dominus

Album by George Frideric Handel & Les Musiciens du Louvre & Marc Minkowski & Annick Massis & Magdalena Kožená

Dixit Dominus is a sacred choral work by George Frideric Händel, composed in 1707. The composition is a vigorous Baroque setting for choir, soloists and orchestra, characterised by elaborate counterpoint, dramatic contrasts and demanding vocal writing, and it represents an early demonstration of Händel's command of large-scale vocal forms that presaged his later operatic and oratorio output.
First released: 1st September 1999
