Handel in Malta: Martin Randall Festival
Buskett Gardens, Verdala Palace
25th November 2025, 11:00am or 4:00pm

Soloists of Gabrieli present a programme exploring the expressive depths of Baroque music, featuring works by Handel and Telemann alongside a hidden gem by Johann Gottlieb Janitsch.
Handel’s ‘Mi palpito il cor’ and Telemann’s ‘Ich seh’ euch fast mit bittern Tränen’ showcase the intimacy and poignancy of the secular and sacred cantata forms with obbligato instrumental accompaniment, and two of Handel’s celebrated trio sonatas demonstrate his mastery of the chamber music genre.
The programme concludes with Janitsch’s chamber sonata for the unusual combination of two violins and oboe with continuo, a work of contrapuntal brilliance and heartfelt lyricism.
