Monteverdi Choir / English Baroque Soloists / Peter Whelan

Tue, Mar 26, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists, Peter Whelan (Conductor)
The Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists present »Israel in Egypt«, one of George Frideric Handel’s most famous oratorios. The key protagonist is not a solo part, but the choir that represents the long-suffering Israelites. Luckily, the Monteverdi Choir is one of the best in the world – and an emotionally moving and musically formidable concert evening is in store. Next to his ubiquitous »Messiah«, Handel’s 24 other oratorios don’t have it easy, although »Israel in Egypt« is relatively well known. Which is no wonder considering how Handel packaged the story of the enslaved Israelites’ exodus from ancient Egypt as a musical crime drama. Although originally conceived for the concert hall, the oratorio is so full of drama that it is also regularly performed on the operatic stage.

English Baroque Soloists / Monteverdi Choir / Christophe Rousset

Sat, Dec 14, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, Hilary Cronin (Soprano), Keri Fuge (Soprano), Rebecca Leggett (Mezzo-Soprano), Edward Ross (Tenor), Ruairi Bowen (Tenor), Florian Störtz (Bass-Bariton), Christophe Rousset
Please note the change of artist: The Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists announced the stepping down of conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner in July after 60 years of collaboration. In Gardiner’s place, the French baroque specialist Christophe Rousset now conducts this concert. The »Messe de Minuit« by Marc-Antoine Charpentier with ten old French Christmas carols follows the country’s tradition of celebrating the good news with dancing vigour and great cheerfulness. With the two following Bach cantatas, composed for the Christmas season in Leipzig’s Thomaskirche, the ensembles return to their core repertoire. They performed all 200 cantatas by the baroque master within a year – nothing if not a mammoth project! Sir John Eliot Gardiner performs with his newly founded ensembles in the Elbphilharmonie on 7 December. Anyone wishing to switch from 14 to 7 December due to the change in line-up can return tickets already purchased.

French impressionism and Italian tonal splendour

Sat, Oct 19, 2024, 19:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Sakari Oramo (Conductor), Kirill Gerstein (Piano), Men of the Rundfunkchor Berlin (Choir), Ladies of the Rundfunkchor Berlin (Choir), Gijs Leenaars (Chorus Master)
In his Nocturnes, Claude Debussy paints atmospherically dense moods with impressionistic colours. They depict the shades of a cloudy sky, a whirling nocturnal festival, and the seductive, deadly song of the legendary sirens. After the interval, you can discover Ferruccio Busoni’s powerful piano concerto. It not only builds a bridge from the Romantic period to the modern era, but also pushes the boundaries of the genre by adding a male choir to the performance forces. Under the direction of Sakari Oramo, Kirill Gerstein plays the taxing solo part.
