    SUCCESSFUL SUMMER FESTIVAL TOUR KICKS OFF 2011-2012 SEASON FOR MUSIC DIRECTOR NICHOLAS MCGEGAN AND THE PHILHARMONIA BAROQUE ORCHESTRA AND CHORALE KDFC Radio Broadcasts Return Starting September 11 All Vivaldi Disc Scheduled for Release September 13 San Francisco, CA – August 23, 2011 -- Music Director Nicholas McGegan and the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale began the 2011-2012 Season in August of 2011 with a prestigious Summer Festival Tour including performances of Handel’s Orlando at the Ravinia Festival, Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival (a sold-out show), and Tanglewood to critical acclaim in all venues. Audiences gave standing ovations each night, and critics raved. The New York Times called the Orchestra “superb” and praised the “invigorating performance,” while the Boston Globe said “their playing laced precision with a heady dose of abandon.” In advance of the Ensemble’s first Bay Area performances, Philharmonia Baroque will return to the local radio airwaves on Sunday, September 11 at 9 p.m. with the first broadcast of a new series of monthly programs on KDFC. The first broadcast features the music of Mozart, with performances and interviews recorded last season with pianist Robert Levin and Music Director Nicholas McGegan. And on September 13, Philharmonia Baroque Productions will release an all-Vivaldi disc featuring Philharmonia Baroque Concertmaster Elizabeth Blumenstock, the third disc in the new project marking the institution’s return to commercial recording. Conducted by Mark Morris, the Orchestra and Chorale’s first performances in the Bay Area take place September 16, 17, and 18 at Zellerbach Hall with the Mark Morris Dance Group in of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas featuring mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe and baritone Philip Cutlip.

  • Elizabeth Watts’ Countess Brought Real Poise to Her Moments in the Spotlight As the Opera’S Least Comic Character
    ` MOZART The Marriage of Figaro, English National Opera / Edusei, Coliseum Elizabeth Watts’ Countess brought real poise to her moments in the spotlight as the opera’s least comic character. Flora Willson, The Guardian, March 2020 MENDELSSOHN Elijah, BBC Symphony Orchestra / Sakari Oramo, Barbican Hall There was an admirable operatic sweep to Elizabeth Watts’ contributions, with a fine sense of anguish as the Widow, and a touching simplicity in the extended Adagio aria which opens the second half, ‘Hear ye, Israel’, exquisitely sustained.’ Alexander Hall, Classical Source, February 2020 VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Symphony No.3 ‘Pastoral’, BBC Symphony Orchestra / Martyn Brabbins, Hyperion Half-remembered, haunting bugle calls are beautifully handled here, as is the long, wordless soprano solo that closes the last movement, a meditation on all that has gone before, lovingly realised by Elizabeth Watts. Stephen Pritchard, The Guardian, January 2020 HANDEL Brockes-Passion, Academy of Ancient Music / Richard Egarr CD recording – AAM Records Elizabeth Watts In the Daughter of Zion’s 14 solos … Elizabeth Watts sings with fervent intensity, the brightness of her tone tempered by a warm mezzo glint. Highlights among Soprano her arias are legion. I would just pick out the sublime ‘Die ihr Gottes Gnad’ after Judas’s suicide, voice and oboe vying with each other in grieving eloquence, and her no-holds-barred attack in the violent ‘Schäumst du, du Schaum der Welt’ as she rails against Christ’s mockery by the Jews. Richard Wigmore, Gramophone, November 2019 The solo singing is outstanding, with … Elizabeth Watts ravishing as the Daughter of Zion Hugh Canning, The Times, September 2019 The soprano Elizabeth Watts is powerfully expressive in the generous 16 arias given to the Daughter of Zion … piercing every word as if it’s a matter of life or death.
