Concert highlights from Handel’s Saul | At Home in partnership with abrdn

Recorded at Usher Hall as part of our At Home programme in partnership with abrdn, watch soloists Liv Redpath, Iestyn Davies, Andrew Haji and Neal Davies join period-instrument orchestra the English Concert for a concert performance of Handel’s Saul. One of the largest, most colourful orchestrations he ever wrote, Saul tells of the first King of Israel’s early admiration and later envy and hatred towards his successor, David, and David’s love for Saul’s son Jonathan, in moving arias and powerful choruses that chart a cathartic journey from triumph to tragedy. If you enjoyed this live performance, we will be releasing more concert recordings across the month, as well as intimate music sessions and artistic shorts in our film series Edinburgh is a Story.
