  • Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley
    For immediate release Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley concert date added to ‘Live from the Barbican’ line-up in spring 2021 Barbican Hall, Saturday 6 February 2021, 8pm The Barbican and Barbican Associate Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra are excited to announce that the orchestra and its Creative Artist in Association Jules Buckley, will be joined by legendary singer songwriter Paul Weller on Saturday 6 February for a concert reimagining Weller’s work in stunning orchestral settings as part of Live from the Barbican in 2021. In Weller’s first live performance for two years, songs spanning the broad spectrum of his career from The Jam to as yet unheard new material will delight fans and newcomers alike. Classic songs including ‘You Do Something to Me’, ‘English Rose’ and ‘Wild Wood’ along with tracks from Weller’s latest number 1 album ‘On Sunset’ will be heard as never before in brand new orchestral arrangements by Buckley. Weller, who takes cultural authenticity to the top of the charts, reunites with Steve Cradock for this one-off performance. Part of the acclaimed Live from the Barbican series which returns to the Centre in the spring, the concert will have a reduced, socially distanced live audience in the Barbican Hall, and it will also be available to watch globally via a livestream on the Barbican website. Whilst the concert will reflect on some of Weller’s back catalogue, as is typical of his constantly evolving career, it will look to the future with performances of songs from an album not released until May 2021, as well as welcoming guest artists to illustrate his work and the music that influenced him.

  • Choral Secular Music Through the Ages
    Choral Secular Music through the ages The Naxos catalogue for secular choral music is such a rich collection of treasures, it almost defi es description. All periods are represented, from Adam de la Halle’s medieval romp Le Jeu de Robin et Marion, the earliest known opera, to the extraordinary fusion of ethnic and avant-garde styles in Leonardo Balada’s María Sabina. Core repertoire includes cantatas by J.S. Bach, Beethoven’s glorious Symphony No. 9, and a “must have” (Classic FM) version of Carl Orff’s famous Carmina Burana conducted by Marin Alsop. You can explore national styles and traditions from the British clarity of Elgar, Finzi, Britten and Tippett, to the stateside eloquence of Eric Whitacre’s “superb” (Gramophone) choral program, William Bolcom’s ‘Best Classical Album’ Grammy award winning William Blake songs, and Samuel Barber’s much loved choral music. Staggering emotional range extends from the anguish and passion in Gesualdo’s and Monteverdi’s Madrigals, through the stern intensity of Shostakovich’s Execution of Stepan Razin to the riot of color and wit which is Maurice Saylor’s The Hunting of the Snark. Grand narratives such as Handel’s Hercules and Martinů’s Epic of Gilgamesh can be found alongside tender miniatures by Schubert and Webern. The Naxos promise of uncompromising standards of quality at affordable prices is upheld both in performances and recordings. You will fi nd leading soloists and choirs conducted by familiar names such as Antoni Wit, Gerard Schwarz, Leonard Slatkin and Robert Craft. There is also a vast resource of collections available, from Elizabethan, Renaissance and Flemish songs and French chansons to American choral works, music for children, Red Army Choruses, singing nuns, and Broadway favorites – indeed, something for everyone.
