Orford ChurchThe Church Parables: Curlew River - I Aldeburgh Festival |
|
![]() | ||
| Orford Church, Orford IP12 2LU, United Kingdom Tuesday 18-Jun-13 08:00pm The Church Parables: Curlew River - I Initially inspired by Britten’s encounter with Noh theatre while on tour in Japan in 1955, Curlew River tells the haunting story of a mother's search for her lost son. Britten transforms the Noh play Sumidagawa into an English medieval mystery play, capturing remarkable similarities between the two distant cultures. The setting is shifted to medieval East Anglia – a feat easily achieved in Orford’s magnificent twelfth-century Church of St Bartholomew. The acclaimed company Mahogany Opera takes Britten’s assimilation of East and West, referencing both Noh tradition and medieval western iconography. Premiered in Orford at the 1964 Aldeburgh Festival, Curlew River is both heart-rending and remarkably evocative of Britten’s Suffolk: in the words of composer Robin Holloway, the spare setting “suffices to render river, marsh and circling birds with startling vividness”. Tickets are limited to two per booker | ||

Orford ChurchThe Church Parables: The Burning Fiery Furnace and The Prodigal Son Aldeburgh Festival |
|
![]() | ||
| Orford Church, Orford IP12 2LU, United Kingdom Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:00pm The Church Parables: The Burning Fiery Furnace and The Prodigal Son Like Curlew River, Britten’s two subsequent Church Parables were both written for Orford Church and were premiered in the Aldeburgh Festivals of 1966
and 1968 respectively. They develop the pioneering ideas of Curlew River – the minimal instrumental and vocal forces and the inclusion of plainchant – but
have very different moods. With The Burning Fiery Furnace, Britten’s aimed to create ‘something much less sombre, an altogether gayer affair’, based on the Old Testament story of Nebuchadnezzar and the three Israelites.
Meanwhile The Prodigal Son was inspired by Rembrandt’s painting The Return of the Prodigal, which Britten had seen two years earlier on a trip to Leningrad. Mahogany’s production takes the principal established in Curlew River of merging East with West and extends it to the two later works, first contrasting Balinese dance drama with stained glass and then Middle Eastern Sufism with the art of Rembrandt and Bosch. Orford Church 7pm (The Burning Fiery Furnace 7–8.15pm; The Prodigal Son 9.30–10.45pm) Tickets are limited to two per booker | ||

Lutoslawski, meanwhile, launched brilliant musical fireworks into the grey skies of postwar Poland. Edward Gardner loves them both, and he begins and ends this concert with two of the twentieth century’s most original – and inspiring – symphonies. In between, something magical happens, as soprano Lucy Crowe re-tells Sibelius’s primal northern myth - and proves that Lutoslawski’s enchanted nursery rhymes aren’t just for children. (£10-£42) | ||

| Aldeburgh Church, Aldeburgh IP15 5DY, United Kingdom Friday 21-Jun-13 03:00pm Britten–Pears Young Artists II A concert that juxtaposes the sounds of a horn quartet with viola – Hindemith and Britten’s own instrument – is an alluring prospect, and the instruments’ very essence seems to be represented here. The viola’s burnished eloquence weeps in memorials by Hindemith and Bridge and spins fantastical tales in Schumann’s fairy stories; the horn’s heritage celebrated in smooth cantilenas and quicksilver caprice. Ghosts lurk here too – the horn virtuoso Dennis Brain and his quartet, and Britten, whose deft arrangements of other people’s music so often blends poetry and polish, working with the grain to reveal new beauty beneath the veneer. | ||

One hundred years ago, Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Stravinsky and Monteux—legends all—triggered the most scandalous evening in ballet history with the premiere of The Rite of Spring. The combination of Stravinsky’s revolutionary music and Nijinsky’s startlingly un-balletic choreography caused a riot. Now universally admired, the music has lost none of its freshness and power. | ||
