Kammerorchester Basel/ René Jacobs/ Papa Haydn

René Jacobs is one of the more electrifying figures in the early music circles. For those who do not follow the ideological battles of fans of historical performance practices daily, it may seem surprising how much excitement some of the Belgian conductor and singer's productions generate. In half a century of artistic activity, Jacobs has been one of the main protagonists of the early music renaissance. At first, as an excellent countertenor, he specialised in recordings of forgotten works and took part in many enthusiastically received interpretations of works by Bach or Mozart. For Jacobs as a conductor, historical treatises and knowledge of past practices can sometimes be the starting point for getting carried away with the free play of the imagination. For some, these ideas are too bold, while in the opinion of others, they make his interpretations closer to contemporary audiences. How will it be with Haydn's two comparatively different works? The E minor Symphony took its name, Mourning, from the composer's alleged request that the slow movement be performed at his funeral. However, there is no evidence that it was played at either the funeral or other memorial services for the artist. The Missa Cellensis in honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae, also known as the Cecilian Mass, is one of two works (or actually three) written for the Abbey of Mariazell, one of the most important pilgrimage points in Austria. The first version of the Mass, composed in 1766, was destroyed in a fire. Therefore, seven years later, Haydn reconstructed the entire work from memory and expanded it into the shape it is known today. Szymon Maliszewski Concert duration (intermission included): approximately 120 minutes

Zürcher Sing-Akademie | Kammerorchester Basel | René Jacobs

Mari Eriksmoen (Soprano), Kristina Hammarström (Mezzo-Soprano), Mark Milhofer (Tenor), Christian Senn (Bariton), Zürcher Sing-Akademie (Ensemble), Michael Gläser (Rehearsal), Kammerorchester Basel (Ensemble), René Jacobs (Conductor)
René Jacobs, a Haydn conductor, expresses his admiration for Haydn's "Cecilia Mass," calling it the most magnificent and artistic among Haydn's masses. The exact date of the mass's creation is undocumented, and the title, referring to the patron saint of church music, isn't Haydn's own. Jacobs performs the mass with the Basel Chamber Orchestra and a select vocal quartet.

Konzerthaus Kammerorchester

Thu, May 15, 2025, 20:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Kleiner Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthaus Kammerorchester, Sayako Kusaka (Conductor)
Our musicians come together several times each season not only in large symphonic formations, but also as the Konzerthaus Chamber Orchestra - this time led by our first concertmaster Sayako Kusaka, who is also the ensemble's artistic director. They choose the pieces for their concerts themselves. A string quartet with „sonata“ in its nickname? To avoid any confusion: Tolstoy's story „The Kreutzer Sonata“, which is about Beethoven's famous violin sonata, inspired Leoš Janáček to write his first string quartet in 1923. Apparently the literature had a very inspiring effect, as he completed it within an astonishing nine days. Both works, Janáček's quartet and Beethoven's sonata, can also be heard in this larger instrumentation after Dvořák's short lyrical „Nachtstück“ for string orchestra.

Basel Chamber Orchestra / Giovanni Antonini

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 19:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Kammerorchester Basel, Basler Madrigalisten, Florian Boesch (Bariton), Anett Fritsch (Soprano), Robert Gleadow (Bass), Nikola Hillebrand (Soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (Soprano), Anna-Doris Capitelli (Soprano), Shinyoung Kim (Soprano), Giovanni Antonini (Conductor)
A servant tricks a nobleman: even in the arts, such a thing was practically a call for revolution in 1786. And yet the title character of Mozart’s opera »Le nozze di Figaro« was allowed to take his employer Count Almaviva for a full ride on the stage of the Vienna Court Opera that very year and end up making a real fool of himself. The Emperor himself had authorised the performance after Mozart had played him a few pieces from the new opera: he was evidently just as unable to resist the pull of the wonderful music as the audience, who still celebrate the opera as one of Mozart’s absolute masterpieces to this day. At the Elbphilharmonie, the performance of this brilliant work by Mozart specialist Giovanni Antonini with his Basel Chamber Orchestra and a top-class line-up of soloists promises nothing less than a masterly performance.

Voces Suaves / Capricornus Consort Basel

Fri, May 24, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Voces Suaves, Capricornus Consort Basel
With their warm and clear choral sound, Voces Suaves bring century-old works to life. And it is often cause for goosebumps from the very first tones. For their performance at the Hamburg International Music Festival, the singers devote their attention to a collection of choral works by Claudio Monteverdi. Specialising in solo performances in the repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the Baroque, Voces Suaves have a reputation as one of the most outstanding early music ensembles for good reason. This time around they in Hamburg with a first-class group of instrumentalists in tow: Like Voces Suaves, the Capricornus Consort Basel was founded at the legendary Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. In keeping with the theme of the music festival, »War and Peace«, the two renowned ensembles perform Monteverdi‘s enchanting »Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi« (Madrigals of War and Love). The Italian composer stands on the cusp between the Renaissance and the Baroque with his expressive musical language. In this collection of non-ecclesiastical songs, he juxtaposes dramatic soundscapes of war with atmospheric songs about love and passion.
