In this video, Katharina Spreckelsen performs the soaring oboe line in this exquisite sinfonia from Cantata 156 with The English Concert, directed by Kristian Bezuidenhout. Ich steh mit einem Fuß im Grabe / I stand with one foot in the grave.

A note from Coram.
“when the English Concert and this vocal ensemble came together under the direction of Harry Bicket, as part of the London Handel Festival, the sound was something of an Easter miracle.”.
Handel’s Foundling Hospital Anthem explores how caring for those in need and supporting the vulnerable can create change, both for others and in ourselves. In a world that sometimes feels fractured and divided, this anthem brings a message of unity and hope, encouraging us to reflect on how we can make a difference in the lives of others.
