Handel’s oratorio Messiah, crowned by the famous Hallelujah Choir – a magnificent finale where the joy of resurrection also frames this year’s festival theme: rebirth. Conductor Reinhard Goebel leads the Swedish Radio Choir, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and four world soloists; soprano Camilla Tilling, mezzo soprano Kristina Hammarström, tenor Andrew Staples and baritone Matthew Rose. In today’s talk, we meet Raimonds Tiguls and Nora Ikstena, two of Latvia’s most influential cultural figures, who wrote oratorio The Book of the Sea together. The talk is broadcast from the National Library in Riga, led by moderator Fredrik Wadström.

Regarding Chromecast via iPhone
You can use Chromecast for the broadcasts on Berwaldhallen Play from computers and Android phones, but not if you play the concert from Apple’s iPhone. This is due to built-in limitations in the iPhone. If you want to see our concerts on a TV and have an iPhone, Apple’s own transfer technology (AirPlay) via an Apple TV works well.
