Weihnachtlich barock

Date & Time

Sun, Dec 15, 2024, 11:00

Venue

Theater und Philharmonie Essen, RWE Pavillon (Essen)

The Essen Philharmonic's third chamber concert promises a festive program to get you in the mood for Christmas. Baroque masterpieces will be performed, including the two festive Christmas concertos by Italian composers Archangelo Corelli and Pietro Antonio Locatelli, who share a special bond: Locatelli was Corelli's student in Rome and was inspired by his teacher, particularly in his Concerti grossi op. 1. Vivaldi's Concerto grosso in D minor, composed around 1711, is also oriented towards Corelli's style and, together with the other eleven concertos of his Opus 3, brought Vivaldi international recognition for the first time. The instrumental program of the concert is interwoven with Christmas vocal pieces by Pietro A. Yon and Peter Cornelius, performed by mezzo-soprano Bettina Ranch, who is a member of the Aalto Theatre ensemble.

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.

Ensemble Resonanz / Ilya Gringolts / Riccardo Minasi

Wed, Jun 12, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Ensemble Resonanz, Ilya Gringolts (Violin), Riccardo Minasi (Conductor)

In his twelve famous Concerti grossi, Arcangelo Corelli translated the coexistence and interweaving of single parts and the whole into Baroque orchestral music that was to become highly influential. Ilya Gringolts counters this with capricious poses on the solo violin, celebrating the birth of virtuosity. Ensemble pieces encounter islands of calculated walks along the dividing line between the collective and the individual. Arcangelo Corelli marked the pinnacle of the Baroque concerto grosso. His instrumental music travelled beyond Italy to influence composers all over Europe, in both his own and succeeding generations. If we listen to the dialogue structure of Corelli’s Concerti grossi, where a group of soloists is juxtaposed with the supporting sound of the whole orchestra, it is clear why the Baroque is referred to as the era of the concertante style. However, this was soon to become a thing of the past in the 18th century, as the soloist moved more and more into the limelight. The individual began to outstrip the collective. Capricious – a word denoting something or someone whimsical, unconventional, even bizarre… The Caprices for Solo Violin written by Pietro Locatelli, Giuseppe Tartini, Niccolò Paganini and Salvatore Sciarrino are dominated by virtuoso elements that express the soloist’s individuality.
