March 2019 2 • 2018/19 Season January - March 2019 2 • This spring, two of today's greatest Lieder interpreters, the German baritone Christian Gerhaher and his regular pianist Gerold Huber, return to survey one of the summits of the repertoire, Schubert’s psychologically intense Winterreise. Harry Christophers and The Sixteen join us with a programme of odes, written to welcome Charles II back Director’s to London from his visits to Newmarket, alongside excerpts from Purcell's incidental music to Theodosius, Nathaniel Lee's 1680 tragedy. Introduction Leading Schubert interpreter Christian Zacharias delves into the composer’s unique melodic, harmonic and thematic flourishes in his lecture-recital. Through close examination of these musical hallmarks and idiosyncrasies, he takes us on a journey to the very essence of Schubert’s style. With her virtuosic ability to sing anything from new works to Baroque opera and Romantic Lieder with exceptional quality, Marlis Petersen is one of the most enterprising singers today. Her residency continues with two concerts, sharing the stage with fellow singers and accompanists of international acclaim. This year’s Wigmore Hall Learning festival, Sense of Home, celebrates the diversity and multicultural melting pot that is London and the borough of Westminster, reflects on Wigmore Hall as a place many call home, and invites you to explore what ‘home’ means to you. One of the most admired singers of the present day, Elīna Garanča, will open the 2018/19 season at the Metropolitan Opera as Dalila in Saint-Saëns’ Samson et Dalila. Her programme in February – comprising four major cycles – includes Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, two of which were identified by the composer himself as studies for Tristan und Isolde. After witnessing each other perform in Schloss Elmau, Germany, in 2015, American pianist-composer Brad Mehldau and British tenor Ian Bostridge met and professed their admiration for each other’s work. Materialising into a creative spark that resulted in pieces written by Mehldau for Bostridge, they began to build the original material into a song cycle which revolved around text and themes of the ‘modern sinuous nature of human desire as it exists in love and adoration’, and they give its UK première in March. In the first ever concert to be promoted by Wigmore Hall at the Roundhouse, Sir George Benjamin conducts his own Palimpsests (2002) this March, together with an intense work by the Russian Galina Ustvolskaya. This performance harks back to the days of Boulez’s famous avant-garde concerts at the iconic Camden venue, and offers a chance to hear large-scale contemporary works in an inimitable setting. On the previous evening, we will present Benjamin’s chamber opera Into the Little Hill on the Wigmore stage. Russian pianist Zlata Chochieva has received exceptional praise for the Romantic repertory. Works and transcriptions by Rachmaninov, a favourite composer, appear in a March programme that also includes mazurkas by Chopin and Skryabin. There are also many wonderful concerts by our Chamber Ensemble in Residence, The Nash Ensemble, so do have a look at those. I look forward to welcoming you to the Hall. • 3 Contents At a Glance 4 Calendar 6 January 8 February 35 March 58 Contemporary Music Series 84 Booking Information 88 January – March 2019 At a Glance See pages 8 – 82 for full details of these concerts and page 88 for booking information.
