Wigmore Hall Summer Brochure 2015
!"# APRIL – JULY 2015 Welcome Keith Saunders John Butt and the Dunedin Consort shed fresh light on Bach’s St John Passion in their revelatory recording, hailed by Gramophone for its ‘naturalness and emotional honesty’. They bring their vision of the work to Wigmore Hall for a special Holy Week performance, projecting the vivid drama of Christ’s betrayal and suffering, and the profound humanity of Bach’s response to it. Andreas Scholl has inspired countless new listeners to fall in love with lesser-known works. His artistry reveals the timeless qualities of great music from the distant past, restoring the rhetorical power and emotional impact of pieces conceived for star performers of eighteenth-century Europe. Scholl’s latest Wigmore Hall programme explores the vitality of Italian cantatas by three masters of the genre and frames their work with the seductive songs of Venetian gondoliers. Formed 70 years ago, soon after the Second World War, the Borodin Quartet has become synonymous with the works of Shostakovich and Beethoven. The ensemble’s latest Wigmore Hall series offers a complete cycle of the two composers’ string quartets, works deeply inscribed in the group’s collective DNA. Our season-long Paul Lewis: A Celebration continues when the much-loved English pianist partners Allan Clayton in a work of timeless musical beauty and artistic truth. Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin, which was first performed at Wigmore Hall in 1903, explores a young man’s love, despair, contemplation of death and ultimate recognition of impermanence. Benjamin Ealovega Body and soul are united in Martin Fröst’s intensely focused approach Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent became pioneers of to making music. -
