  • September 2016 – July 2017
    SEPTEMBER 2016 –JULY 2017 Director’s Introduction Frances Marshall Photography One of Britain’s foremost singers, Sarah Connolly, opens the Hall’s new season with regular duo partner Malcolm Martineau, leading listeners through a programme rich in emotional contrasts, poetic reflections and glorious melodies. The recital includes Mahler’s sublime Rückert Lieder, the impassioned lyricism of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, the exotic subtle narrative impressions of Debussy’s three Chansons de Bilitis, and a selection of Schumann songs. Mark Padmore’s vocal artistry and ability to extract every drop of emotion from poetic texts have secured his place among today’s finest recitalists. Morgan Szymanski, described by Classical Guitar magazine as ‘a player destined for future glories’ joins him on 12 September. Critical acclaim for Angela Hewitt’s Bach interpretations bears witness to the pianist’s extraordinary ability to connect physically and emotionally as well as intellectually with the dance rhythms and expressive gestures of the composer’s keyboard works. The Bach Odyssey will highlight all of this over the next four years. Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan performs like a force of nature, captivating audiences with her artistry’s presence and expressive vitality. She joins the Calder Quartet, winner of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, for the world première of The sirens cycle by Peter Eötvös. Beethoven’s piano sonatas occupied forty years of his life. They offer insights into his development as artist and individual, and stand among the greatest of all his works. Igor Levit, now in his late 20s, drew critical superlatives to his debut recording of Beethoven’s late sonatas and has since established his reputation as a visionary interpreter of the composer’s music.

  • Dezember 2018 Facebook
    Berliner Barock Solisten Stand : Dezember 2018 www.berlinerbarocksolisten.de facebook The Berlin Baroque Soloists ensemble was founded in 1995 by Rainer Kussmaul, Raimar Orlovsky, and other members of the Berlin Philharmonic, alongside early music specialists. Their aim was to present high-level performances of early music on modern instruments. This concept does not contradict the idea of historical performance practice. The size of the ensemble varies according to the requirements of each programme. Rainer Kussmaul (1946-2017), with his established international experience and great expertise in Baroque Music, led the ensemble until 2010. Since 2010, the Berlin Baroque Soloists has adapted its leaders to each project: Bernhard Forck, Daniel Gaede, Frank Peter Zimmermann, Gottfried von der Goltz, Daniel Hope, Daishin Kashimoto and Daniel Sepec were among the few leaders over the past decade. The ensemble focuses on unjustly forgotten masterpieces, especially those by Georg Philipp Telemann and more unknown composers. The ensemble has performed with renowned singers and soloists such as Christine Schäfer, Anna Prohaska, Dorothea Röschmann, Christiane Oelze, Sandrine Piau, Sybilla Rubens, Bernarda Fink, Genia Kühmeier, Thomas Quasthoff, Mark Padmore, Michael Schade, Andreas Staier, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Frank Peter Zimmermann, Emmanuel Pahud, Jacques Zoon, Albrecht Mayer, Jonathan Kelly, Radek Baborak, Maurice Steger, Reinhold Friedrich, Christine Schornsheim. Prominent german actors, such as Christian Ehring, Burghart Klaußner und Armin Müller- Stahl, have joined them for concerts as well. In 2014, the Berlin Baroque Soloists held their first performance with a conductor, in which early music specialist Reinhard Goebel directed a C.P.E. Bach - Jubilee Concert at the Berlin Philharmonie. The concert was recorded by Sony and well received by critics.
