As his Christmas Eve mass is lost, Andrea Macron created a vesper service, combining works by Monteverdi and his contemporaries, evoking a Venetian Christmas liturgy of the early 17th century.

Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine

Fri, Apr 26, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Les Cornets Noirs, Ensemble Delectus Cantionum (Vocal Ensemble)
It takes some confidence to dedicate a sacred work personally to the Pope. But Claudio Monteverdi was keen to reach as large an audience as possible when he published his »Vespro della Beata Vergine« in 1610. With the work, he sought to express all the facets of his compositional prowess, and the »Vespers for the Blessed Virgin« remains one of the greatest works of sacred music to this day. In 13 movements, Monteverdi demonstrates his mastery and his ability to integrate all the contrasting stylistic influences of his time into one diverse whole. The six-strong Flemish instrumental ensemble Les Cornets Noirs specialises in the music of Monteverdi’s time. Together with the singers of the Delectus Cantionum ensemble, they present a historically informed and musically expressive performance of this legendary work.

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.

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.
