Rebecca Hardwick (soprano) Jacob Garside (cello, viola da gamba) and the Players of the Hampstead Collective present 'Agrippina’s Betrayal'; a programme centred round Handel’s Cantata of 1707 “Agrippina a condotta a morire”

Inspired by the tragic story of Agrippina’s fate, (which Handel later expanded in 1709 into a full scale opera), this cantata is distinctive in its devoted exploration of Agrippina’s perspective and the ensuing personal strife. In addition works by Handel’s German predecessors; Kuhnau, Schutz and Buxtehude offer insight to earlier Lutheran perspectives on these themes.
