Zu den erfolgreichsten Werken, die Georg Friedrich Händel in London geschrieben hat, gehört seine Ode "Alexander´s Feast or The Power of Music". Komponiert hatte Händel dieses "Alexanderfest" als Huldigung an die Heilige Cecilia, die Schutzpatronin der Musik. Angelehnt an die große englische Chortradition, erzählt das Alexanderfest die Geschichte vom Feldherrn Alexander dem Großen, der von der Macht der Musik zu großen Taten bewegt wird, und basiert auf einem 1697 von John Dryden verfassten, damals berühmten Text. Bei der Uraufführung 1736 feierten 1300 Zuhörer, darunter auch die Königsfamilie, Händels kontrastreiche, den Bogen von majestätisch bis melancholisch spannende Musik für Vokalsolisten, Chor und Orchester. In einer exzellenten Neuaufnahme präsentiert das auf die historische Aufführungspraxis spezialisierte junge Schweizer Vox Orchester unter der Leitung von Dirigent Lorenzo Ghirlanda Händels Meisterwerk bei deutsche harmonia mundi - nach einer ersten, hochgelobten Aufnahme mit Werken von Purcell und Locke. Für die neue Aufnahme verstärkte sich das Ensemble mit dem Vox Chor und - in den Solopartien - mit Marie Sophie Pollak (Sopran), Tobias Hunger (Tenor) sowie Kresimir Strazanac (Bassbariton).
