Elsa Dreisig

Date & Time
Sat, Feb 15, 2025, 18:00
The suppleness of Elsa Dreisig's voice, matched by the art of sign singing, works wonders in this program devoted to French melody. Fauré's Amours du Poète rub shoulders with the alchemies of Ravel whose Quartet we can also enjoy.

Elegance, virtuosity, delicacy – all this can be discovered in an endlessly inventive world of musical expression. In a programme with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and conductor Robin Ticciati, you can experience some of Handel’s most beautiful arias and orchestral pieces from operas and other works. Iestyn Davies, one of the leading countertenors of our time, is the soloist. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a great admirer of Handel. His festive and exuberant “Haffner Symphony” concludes the programme.

Hathor Consort / Dorothee Mields / Romina Lischka

Fri, May 17, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Hathor Consort, Dorothee Mields (Soprano), Romina Lischka (Viola da gamba), Romina Lischka (Director)
What traces do wars leave on the music of the time? The Hathor Consort, a viol ensemble of to which harp, organ and cornett are added, joins forces with soprano Dorothee Mields to look for echoes of the Thirty Years’ War in the works of composers who witnessed this catastrophic period in European history. With his »Trostgedichten in Widerwertigkeit deß Kriegs«, the poet Martin Opitz wrote an influential treatise of edification in the midst of this fierce conflict that claimed the lives of around a third of the population. The composers of the age attempted to process the deep trauma of violence, hunger and utter defencelessness through their music. This programme brings together four musical witnesses of the time:Heinrich Schütz, Samuel Scheidt, Andreas Hammerschmidt and Heinrich Albert. The acclaimed Hathor Consort focuses mainly on Renaissance and Baroque music, but it regularly combines this with music from other cultures as well as with contemporary works. Dorothee Mields likewise focuses entirely on Early Music, and her clear and intimate soprano is regarded as one of today’s top voices in the field of historic performing practice.

Ensemble Correspondances / Sébastien Daucé

Sat, Mar 1, 2025, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Ensemble Correspondances, Lucile Richardot (Chief Priest), Tristan Hambleton (Pan), Élodie Fonnard (Venus), Etienne Bazola (Vulcan), Sébastien Daucé (Director)
When English King Charles II saw the sumptuously staged opera »Psyche« by Jean-Baptiste Lully at the French court of »Sun King« Louis XIV in 1671, he wanted to bring a similar spectacle to his London home. This was accomplished in 1675 and the semi-opera »Psyche« by Matthew Locke with large orchestra, singing, drama, ballet, colourful costumes and specially built stage machinery underwent its premiere as the first of its kind in England. At the Laeiszhalle, the handsome neo-baroque ambience now serves as the setting for a top-class concert performance with Sébastien Daucé and his Ensemble Correspondances. The love story between the ancient god Cupid and the human princess Psyche does not conform to their social standing: it must overcome many obstacles, the couple goes from heaven to hell and back again to finally receive a blessing from the other gods and goddesses. In typical baroque opera fashion, en route in all kinds of subplots the lovers encounter the entire spectrum of mythical figures – gods, demigods, furies, demons, cyclopes and many more romp about in the five acts of the plot. Matthew Locke and his librettist also added some comedic elements to the French original. Originally, the flamboyantly instrumented orchestra had to play several dances and interludes by Giovanni Battista Draghi, which have not been passed down. Instead, Sébastien Daucé inserts instrumental movements by Matthew Locke and shortens some of the spoken passages to give greater emphasis to the highly emotional arias. This produces a fascinating, entertaining insight into the origins of English opera, brilliantly played and of timeless beauty.

Ensemble Micrologus

Fri, Nov 22, 2024, 19:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Patrizia Bovi (Vocals), Patrizia Bovi (Harp), Goffredo Degli Esposti (Recorder), Goffredo Degli Esposti (Zufolo), Goffredo Degli Esposti (Percussion), Gabriele Russo (Fidel), Crawford Young (Lute), Enea Sorini (Vocals), Enea Sorini (Flute), Enea Sorini (Percussion)
The rediscovery of music from the Italian Middle Ages – over the last 40 years, nobody has clothed it in such exciting and varied sounds as the Ensemble Micrologus. In their programme »Napoli aragonese«, the musicians travel back to the heyday of courtly music in 15th century Naples, where the entire panorama of French, Italian and Spanish styles mingled. The musicians led by singer Patrizia Bovi have been performing theme programmes since 1984. In their varied concerts, it is first and foremost the music of Italy between the 12th and 15th centuries, from both the secular and sacred spheres, that they bring to life for our times. Patrizia Bovi, wind player Goffredo Degli Esposti and Gabriele Russo, who focuses on the strings, attach great importance to new interpretations: They use ethno-musicological research to develop these into singing and playing techniques and by reconstructing old instruments. The Venetian carnival, the story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian or the music in the Tuscan novels of the Trecento have already been the subject of Bovi’s many stage productions. In the »Napoli aragonese«« programme, everything revolves around secular music at the Aragonese court in Naples. In the 15th century, the court band was leading among Europe’s royal orchestras. In a fruitful exchange, they cultivated a variety of Italian, Spanish and French styles such as ballata and barzelleta, canción and roundeaux.

Le Concert des Nations / Jordi Savall

Fri, May 10, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Hespèrion XXI, Le Concert des Nations, La Capella Reial de Catalunya (Vocal Ensemble), Nedyalko Nedyalkov (Kaval), Yurdal Tokcan (Oud), Hakan Güngör (Kanun), Dimitri Psonis (Santur), Jordi Savall (Viola da gamba), Jordi Savall (Director)
No other musician combines works from bygone eras with a topical message to such powerful effect: Jordi Savall – viola da gamba player, conductor, musicologist and star of the early music scene. His new programme »War and Peace« is a diverse musical fresco that evokes an age of battles and ceasefires, starting with the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War in 1618 and ending with the Peace Treaty of Aix-la-Chappelle in 1748. »The emotion of the music linked here to the historic events allows us, perhaps, to see everything in a new light,« says the Catalan conductor, who was named UNESCO »Artist of Peace« in 2009. Savall is travelling to Hamburg not only with a wealth of great music, but also with his early music instrumental ensembles Hespèrion XXI and Le Concert des Nations, and his ten-strong vocal ensemble La Capella Reial de Catalunya. On their search for the authentic sound of the age, they play music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The orchestras are complemented by four musicians from Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey, who enrich the music with oriental sounds. However, the concert comes to a close with Arvo Pärt’s prayer for peace »Da pacem Domine«, which he composed in 2004 in memory of the victims of the Madrid bombings.

Vinci: Oratorio per la Madonna del Rosario

Thu, Nov 21, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Arsenale Sonoro, Francesca Aspromonte (Alba), Nicolò Balducci (Angelo), Sonia Prina (Maria), Fulvio Bettini (Bariton), Boris Begelman (Violin), Boris Begelman (Director)
Besides Venice, Naples was also one of the most important musical cities in Italy from the 17th century. French lawyer and scholar Charles de Brosses even described it as the »capital of the music world«. The »Neapolitan School« – a group of composers originating from Naples who for over a hundred years significantly influenced the history of opera and moved stylistically between late baroque and pre-classical were a large part of this assessment. Besides composers Alessandro Scarlatti and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, still very well-known today, Leonardo Vinci was also part of this circle. With his »Oratorio per la Madonna del Rosario«, 300 years after its premiere, you can now experience a real rarity and rediscovery at the start of the »Viva Napoli« Festival. Leonardo Vinci’s operas also remained on the repertoires for a long time after his death in 1730 – evidence of the tremendous reputation of the composer. Yet the oratorio to honour the Madonna of the rosary was only handed down in a unique script and was virtually not performed at all any more since its origin around 1723. A challenge which seems to be made for the early music ensemble Arsenale Sonoro, formed in 2014. It has set itself the objective of reviving forgotten musical gems from the baroque period using painstaking research and passionate dedication. With the rediscovery of Vinci, the composer now celebrates his debut at the Laeiszhalle.
