Chester Cathedral, Chester CH1 2HU, United Kingdom Monday 3-Jun-13 07:30pm Ensemble Deva One of the most evocative and profound song cycles of the last 100 years is performed in the stunning surroundings and acoustic of Chester Cathedral. The most important non-operatic work of the 1940s, this setting of six English poems for tenor, solo horn and string orchestra was completed in 1943. It was the first large-scale work he had written specifically for Peter Pears, and it was also a response to the extraordinary artistry of the horn player Dennis Brain. The solo horn opens the work, adds perfectly imagined atmosphere to the songs, and then, in Pears’s words, “winds the work into stillness”. A setting of English poems on evening and night which, as sleep approaches, hints of the “worm in the rose, the sense of sin in the heart of man”. The amazing Giovanni Guzzo takes his Stradivarius to lead Chester’s very own Ensemble Deva. Allan Clayton has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting and sought after singers of his generation and can currently be seen at the Royal Opera House. Find out more about him here. Tim Jackson is principal horn at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and is much in demand also as a period french horn player and as a composer. He is a member of Ensemble Deva.

Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Friday 7-Jun-13 07:30pm Peter Grimes in Concert Peter Grimes is an outsider in ‘The Borough’, a fictionalised version of Aldeburgh that first appeared in George Crabbe’s poem in 1810. Yet in contrast to Crabbe’s sadistic fisherman, Britten’s Grimes emerges as an enigmatic anti-hero. Is he responsible for the death of his young apprentice? Is he mad, evil or a misunderstood visionary? Britten’s early masterpiece has captured the imagination of audiences around the world ever since its premiere in the aftermath of the second world war. First written for Peter Pears, the role of Grimes is sung by Alan Oke, who received huge critical acclaim for his portrayal of Aschenbach in the 2007 Aldeburgh Festival production of Death in Venice. This concert performance gives you a rare chance to hear the opera in the magnificent concert hall that Britten built.

Aldeburgh Church, Aldeburgh IP15 5DY, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 11:00am Aimard & Aimard With his sister Valérie, Aldeburgh’s Artistic Director plays the music of his predecessor in a celebration of four of the twentieth century’s most distinctive voices, but reveals some surprising similarities. Are Carter’s snappy syncopations a transatlantic echo of Shostakovich’s irony-laden acerbic wit and Kurtág’s compact, expressive gestures laden with the same potency as the sparse opening fragments of Britten’s sonata, which marked the beginning of an inspired collaboration with Rostropovich? At the heart of it, the cello’s inimitable voice, forceful but tender, sighing, singing, whispering, lamenting… Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975), Aphorisms - ten pieces for piano, Op.13 Carter, Elliott (1908-2012), Cello Concerto Kurtág, György (b. 1926), Jelék, Op.5 Kurtág, György (b. 1926), Jatekok (Games): excerpts Britten, Benjamin (1913-1976), Sonata in C major for cello and piano, Op.65: Scherzo Pizzicato Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Piano Valerie Aimard, Cello

Eight decades on, Conor Mitchell’s new settings of new Mark Ravenhill lyrics capture and embellish the atmosphere of heady excitement, emotional anxiety and inevitable heartache of a blossoming love affair. Originally written for an actress, Britten’s cabaret songs are given new life by Jamie McDermott, charismatic vocalist of quirky and theatrical indie band, The Irrepressibles, His sultry falsetto brings new colour and poignancy to a radical re-imagining of Britten’s originals, sung alongside new Mitchell settings of song lyrics that Auden intended for Britten but were never used, and a brand new set of cabaret songs they’ve inspired.

Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 08:00pm Les Illuminations In Britten’s Rimbaud songs the sensuality of the texts is matched in agile, feverish music for strings which trembles, shimmers and seduces. The French soprano Sandrine Piau, who premiered Colin Matthews’ completion of Britten’s three additional Rimbaud songs, makes her Aldeburgh debut. Judith Weir, citing Tippett’s work as a model, sets a small group of soloists against a larger body of strings in the style of a baroque concerto grosso. Bartok’s masterpiece weaves its magic from threads of folk music, sprightly dance rhythms and a compelling ‘night music’ episode that conjures an atmosphere of fantasy and dreams.

In intriguing return concerts, he teams with insightful piano virtuoso Stephen Hough to perform both of Liszt’s piano concertos. From storms to dreamlike meditations, these works capture Liszt’s musical poetry. Framing them are works with aristocratic connections – to mark his centenary year, Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem, a provocative tribute to the Japanese Emperor which caused a diplomatic scandal. Haydn’s Ninetieth Symphony, composed for the Paris elite, featuring one of his daring musical jokes designed to catch his audience out – if you like bursting into pplause when the music finishes, you’d better sit on your hands at this concert!
