Royal Academy of Music, Duke's Hall, London Royal Academy of Music / Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series |
|
 | ||
| Royal Academy of Music, Duke's Hall, London, Marylebone Road, London NW1 5HT, United Kingdom Sunday 23-Jun-13 12:00pm Royal Academy of Music / Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series ‘Es erhub sich ein Streit’ is the second of three complete surviving cantatas that Bach wrote for the feast of St Michael. The vivid Biblical account of the battle which Michael and his cohorts fought against Satan has inspired both painters and poets. It also inspired Bach to great heights of pictorial imagery and nowhere is this more evident than in the great fugal chorus with which this cantata begins. Bach illustrates the conflict between heaven and hell with sustained rhythmic tension and a confrontational vigour that is almost startling in its ferocity. This splendid battle music gives way to gentler, more reflective images contained in the work’s two arias. ‘Tue Rechnung! Donnerwort’ is a Trinity cantata which Bach first performed at Leipzig in July 1725. The text is based on the parable of the unjust steward and Bach begins his cantata with a declamatory bass aria rather than the usual chorus. Salomo Franck’s text calling mankind to account is uncompromising and Bach responds with a portentous, unyielding chordal dotted-rhythm against an almost unceasing continuo of semi-quaver triplets. There is colourful word-painting here and also in the duet for soprano and alto. ‘Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg’ is the latest of Bach’s surviving cantatas for the feast of St Michael and All Angels. He probably performed it at Leipzig in 1729. The music of the colourfully scored opening chorus was not entirely new, since Bach had used it, albeit differently scored, as the conclusion to his Weimar congratulatory cantata BWV 208. The work contains two especially appealing arias, a lyrical, dance-like movement for soprano and strings, and a duet for alto and tenor with obbligato bassoon whose diverting serpentine figurations are taken up by the voices in canon. Each cantata concert begins at midday and lasts around one hour. The Academy’s restaurant will be open for light refreshments from 10.30am until the start of each concert. | ||

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Monday 24-Jun-13 08:30pm Brooklyn Babylon - Big band music from the heart of Brooklyn, New York At the dawn of the 20th century, Brooklyn is being targeted by real estate developers with plans to build the world’s highest tower right in the centre of the New York borough. When master carpenter Lev is commissioned to construct a carrousel to crown the skyscraper, he finds himself torn between his ambition and his loyalty to the community.
Brooklyn Babylon is an urban fable which unfolds wordlessly. The performance combines the haunting animations and live painting by graphic and comic artist Danijel Zezelj with the exciting, cosmopolitan polyphony of Secret Society, an 18-piece bigband led by Darcy James Argue – regarded as one of the great North American jazz musicians of the new generation.
Tickets €25 - 20, students/CJO €17.50 all categories. Running time 1 hour, no interval.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk | ||

Royal Academy of Music, Duke's Hall, London Royal Academy of Music / Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series |
|
 | ||
| Royal Academy of Music, Duke's Hall, London, Marylebone Road, London NW1 5HT, United Kingdom Sunday 6-Oct-13 12:00pm Royal Academy of Music / Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series ‘Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ’ is a late-comer to the main body of Bach’s cantatas. Bach performed it at Leipzig on the fourth Sunday after Trinity, 1732, reviving it ten years later. This is a chorale-based cantata in which the hymn’s unaltered text appears, verse by verse in each movement. Only the movements which frame the work are treated chorally, the intervening verses being assigned to soloists. These are well-contrasted arias for alto with continuo, soprano with obbligato oboe da caccia and tenor with obbligato violin and bassoon. ‘Der Friede sei mit dir’ bucks any known trend in Bach’s cantata production. To all intents and purposes it is a work for solo bass, though in the second movement Rosenmuller’s beautiful chorale melody is sung by soprano. No definite date of composition is known though the mid to late 1720s seems a likely hypothesis. No autograph is preserved but surviving manuscript copies indicate that the piece was intended both for the third day of Easter and for the Feast of the Purification. It has been suggested that this short cantata is only a fragment of what might have been a work of greater substance. Bach performed his cantata ‘Meine Seel erhebt den Herren’ at Leipzig in July 1724 on the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its text is based on Luther’s German version of the Latin Magnificat. Unlike his well-known Latin Magnificat (BWV 243), Bach’s cantata includes recitative as well as arias and chorally treated movements. Its tautly constructed opening chorus is declamatory in character and incorporates the ‘tonus peregrinus’ plainchant melody. A splendidly robust bass aria, full of theatrical gesture, breaths the air of the opera house, as Bach paints a picture of the temporal mighty hurled from their seats into the sulphurous pool of the text. Each cantata concert begins at midday and lasts around one hour. The Academy’s restaurant will be open for light refreshments from 10.30am until the start of each concert. | ||

The cantata opens with a festive chorale fantasia on a grand scale with an instrumental arsenal of trumpets, drums, oboes and strings accompanying the choir. Two arias follow of which the first, for soprano with oboes is especially engaging for its dance-like character. The concluding chorale is related to the opening chorus and contains brilliant flashes of colour from brass and timpani. We may imagine that Bach himself was pleased with his setting since he used it once more in another New Year cantata, four years later. ‘Wo soll ich fliehen hin’ is a Trinity cantata which Bach performed at Leipzig in 1724. It belongs to his great cycle of chorale-based works whose basis, in this instance, derives from a hymn by the seventeenth century writer, Johann Heermann. The opening chorus is a piece of consummate artistry, with subtle word-painting and whose unified structure derives in part from material shared between vocal and instrumental parts. The two arias are, in their different ways memorable. The first, a lyrical piece for tenor is lent distinction by the rare occurrence in Bach’s cantatas of a viola obbligato. The second, for alto features a high trumpet, oboes and strings and is declamatory in character. Each cantata concert begins at midday and lasts around one hour. The Academy’s restaurant will be open for light refreshments from 10.30am until the start of each concert. | ||

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Tuesday 12-Nov-13 08:15pm Hels and Hemels (Diabolical and Celestial) Composed in 1673 Battalia is one of the most remarkable works of the seventeenth century. Scored for ten musicians, Biber’s evocative work depicts the tale of a group of soldiers: one hears them sitting by the campfire, getting drunk, fighting on the battlefield and commemorating the fallen with a prayer. The tempestuous C.P.E. Bach is well represented by his Cello Concerto in A. The English master cellist Steven Isserlis, who last performed with Amsterdam Sinfonietta ten years ago, returns as soloist, not only in this tumultuous concerto but also in Bloch’s lamenting, Jewish miniatures.
Honneger drew inspiration from Bach and the violence of the Second World War as he composed his darkly ominous Second Symphony. Peace is once again restored by Beethoven. After a protracted illness Beethoven astonished everyone with his unexpected recovery. Convinced that 'the highest authority' had spared his life, Beethoven wrote a prayer of thanksgiving to express his gratitude; music that ascends to the heavens.Image credit: Marco Borggreve Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827), String Quartet no. 15 in A minor, Op.132 (Heiliger Dankgesang) | ||

The tempestuous C.P.E. Bach is well represented by his Cello Concerto in A. The English master cellist Steven Isserlis, who last performed with Amsterdam Sinfonietta ten years ago, returns as soloist, not only in this tumultuous concerto but also in Bloch’s lamenting, Jewish miniatures.
Honneger drew inspiration from Bach and the violence of the Second World War as he composed his darkly ominous Second Symphony. Peace is once again restored by Beethoven. After a protracted illness Beethoven astonished everyone with his unexpected recovery. Convinced that 'the highest authority' had spared his life, Beethoven wrote a prayer of thanksgiving to express his gratitude; music that ascends to the heavens.Image credit: Marco Borggreve Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827), String Quartet no. 15 in A minor, Op.132 (Heiliger Dankgesang) | ||

| Royal Academy of Music, Duke's Hall, London, Marylebone Road, London NW1 5HT, United Kingdom Sunday 1-Dec-13 12:00pm Royal Academy of Music / Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series Bach composed his Christmas Oratorio for the Leipzig Christmas festival of 1734/5. The music is partly original and partly ‘parody’, two secular cantatas which he had written a year or so earlier, providing him with much of his borrowed material. Although the Oratorio is cast in six autonomous parts, Bach has nevertheless achieved a unified work within itself. Each of its Parts can be performed separately and with complete propriety – as Bach did himself. Part Two is scored for a four-part chorus with alto, tenor and bass soloists and an instrumentarium of flutes, oboes d’amore, oboes da caccia and strings. The text is concerned with the announcement of the Birth of Christ to the shepherds. The Evangelist tells the story in biblical narrative, while arias, duets and trios for the soloists, choruses for the choir and chorales, perhaps for the congregation to join in, meditate upon the events taking place. ‘Sie werden euch in den Bann tun’ is the later of two cantatas by Bach bearing this title. He performed the present work at Leipzig on the first Sunday after Ascension in May 1725. Its text by the Leipzig poet Mariane von Ziegler is concerned with the fear of persecution, assuaged by the Holy Spirit. The layout is untypical and the cantata begins with a bass recitative rather than a choral movement. This piece and the single remaining recitative feature an unusual accompaniment of oboes d’amore and oboes da caccia, while the tenor aria is lent distinction by an obbligato violoncello piccolo. The first performance of the cantata ‘Christum wir sollen loben schon’ took place at Leipzig on the second day of Christmas 1724. Its text is based on Luther’s translation of the ancient Latin Christmas hymn ‘A solis ortus cardine’. The opening chorale fantasia in the character and form of a motet is colourfully scored for cornett, three trombones, oboe d’amore and strings. The remainder of the work strikes a more modern note with a tenor aria accompanied by oboe d’amore and another for bass with full string accompaniment. This last-mentioned aria is a robust and joyful movement, spaciously laid out with an extended instrumental ritornello. Each cantata concert begins at midday and lasts around one hour. The Academy’s restaurant will be open for light refreshments from 10.30am until the start of each concert. | ||

In this unique masterpiece Schoenberg fully exploits every facet of the string orchestra. Reason aplenty for Amsterdam Sinfonietta to adopt Verklärte Nacht as one of its favourite showpieces. The CD recording of the work was awarded the French Opus d’or prize, among others. In collaboration with the Cheltenham Festival and other institutions Amsterdam Sinfonietta has commissioned the English composer David Matthews to write a double concerto for violin and viola.

Vorig seizoen maakte hij als dirigent met het Nederlands Kamerkoor een succesvolle tournee door Europa.
In zes delen verklankt Bach in het Weihnachtsoratorium het kerstverhaal, zoals beschreven in de evangeliën van Mattheüs en Lucas. Dankzij de grote belangstelling in voorgaande jaren voeren Combattimento Consort Amsterdam en het Nederlands Kamerkoor het werk dit jaar twee keer uit in het Muziekgebouw.
