亨德尔: 伯沙撒

指挥家简介：
威廉·克里斯蒂（William Christie）出生于法国布法罗，作为大键琴演奏家、指挥家、音乐学家和教师，他的职业生涯在 1979 年发生了决定性的转折，因为他创立了繁盛艺术古乐团（Les Arts Florissants）。在这个器乐与声乐合奏团的领导下，他在重新发现巴洛克音乐方面发挥了先锋作用，将 17 世纪和 18 世纪在很大程度上被忽视或遗忘的法国曲目带给了广大听众。在重新诠释这些曲目的过程中，他在音乐会和歌剧舞台上建立起了高度的个人风格，既是音乐家，也是大型作品的舞台表演者。他录制了一百多张唱片。
威廉·克里斯蒂还为几代歌唱家和器乐演奏家揭开了神秘的面纱。为了将自己的经验传授给年轻艺术家，他于2002年创建了 “声音花园”（Le Jardin des Voix），这是繁盛艺术古乐团为年轻歌唱家开设的学院，并作为纽约茱莉亚音乐学院（Juilliard School）驻校教学的一部分。2012年，他对园艺艺术的热情促使他创办了 “威廉·克里斯蒂花园节”（Dans les Jardins de William Christie），每年夏天在他位于旺代省蒂雷（Thiré）的庄园举办。
他在那里设计的花园已被列入《历史古迹补充目录》（Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments historiques），并被授予 “杰出花园”（Remarkable Garden）称号。2018 年，他将自己的全部财产捐赠给了位于蒂雷的威廉·克里斯蒂花卉艺术基金会（Fondation William Christie – Les Arts Florissants）。

乐团简介：
繁盛艺术古乐团（Les Arts Florissants）是位于法国卡昂Théâtrede Caen的巴洛克音乐合奏团。 该组织由指挥家威廉·克里斯蒂（William Christie）于1979年成立。该乐队的名字来源于马克·安托万·夏蓬迪尔（Marc-Antoine Charpentier）1685年的歌剧。 该组织由一个室内乐器管弦乐队和一个小型人声合奏组成。 乐团以创造、快乐和分享的名义成立，在复兴曾经被遗忘的曲目方面发挥了先锋作用，现在这些曲目在全球所有最负盛名的音乐厅都能欣赏到。这种开拓精神从未消亡，弗洛里桑艺术团的两位艺术总监威廉·克里斯蒂和保罗·阿格纽今天仍在继续乐团的研究和创新传统。他们热衷于传承巴洛克艺术的各个方面，多年来，弗洛里桑艺术团扩大了他们的范围，包括威廉·克里斯蒂的另外两个爱好：遗产和园林艺术。这种有意义的、跨学科的演变使弗洛里桑艺术团项目在2016年被指定为 "文化交流中心"，这是一个认可特殊遗产地的标签，通过丰富的文化项目重新焕发活力.
