| Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin, Bismarckstraße 110, 10625 Berlin, Germany Friday 24-May-13 07:30pm Karl Friedrich Schinkel's fascinating stage design for the appearance of the Queen of the Night, with a starry dome and a narrow crescent, has become famous. The designs of the architectural genius of "The Magic Flute" from the year 1816 are the basis of this staging by August Everding.Image credit: © Monika Rittershaus Alexander Soddy, Conductor August Everding, Director Fred Berndt, Set Designer Eberhard Friedrich, Choirmaster Pavol Breslik, Tenor: Tamino Adriane Queiroz, Soprano: Pamina Roman Trekel, Baritone: Papageno Narine Yeghiyan, Soprano: Papagena Anna Maria Siminska, Soprano: Queen of the Night René Pape, Bass: Sarastro Arttu Kataja, Bass: Speaker (der Sprecher) Michael Smallwood, Tenor: Monostatos Paul O'Neill, Tenor Michael Kraus, Baritone Carola Höhn, Soprano Rowan Hellier, Mezzo-soprano Anna Lapkovskaja, Mezzo-soprano Kyungho Kim, Tenor Alin Anca, Bass Staatskapelle Berlin Staatsopernchor Berlin | ||

Snape Maltings Concert Hall Quatuor Mosaïques I Aldeburgh Festival |
 |
 | ||
| Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 11:00am Quatuor Mosaïques I Quatuor Mosaïques is the world’s leading period instrument string quartet. Their gut-stringed instruments and uncluttered, perceptive musicianship lead to freshly considered and deeply satisfying performances of the classical and early Romantic repertoire. In the first of their two weekend residency concerts, they pitch us straight into baroque music and the wonderful improvisatory air of Purcell’s Fantasias for viol consort as a prelude to the richness of mature Haydn. Schubert’s monumental final quartet finds solace amidst the tumult, as the ailing but still young composer obsesses on an extraordinary torrent of musical ideas – chamber music on an epic scale. | ||

Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh Quatuor Mosaïques II Aldeburgh Festival |
Werner, Three Fugues |
| ||
| Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Aldeburgh, United Kingdom Sunday 16-Jun-13 03:00pm Quatuor Mosaïques II The art of fugue: music from Gregor Werner, Haydn’s predecessor at the Esterhazy court sets the foundation stones for a concert that culminates in one of the most extraordinary and explosive examples of the form in music history. Beethoven’s ‘great’ fugue, a conclusion to what is – even without its fi nale – a radical and profound late quartet, is so ambitious in scope and experimental in design that its shockwaves still resound even to modern ears. In a way Haydn is no less radical – his own fugal fi nale is part of a conscious revival of baroque forms and the theatrical drama provided by its four interlocking voices provides tantalizing tiny hints at what his most famous pupil would achieve.

| St Botolph without Bishopsgate, London, London EC2M 3TL, United Kingdom Wednesday 10-Jul-13 07:30pm The Return Flight of the Earls In 1607, the Earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell sailed from Ireland for continental Europe, never to return. The consequences of the ‘Flight of the Earls’ were profound and its sequel was the Plantation of Ulster, the renaming of Derry as Londonderry and the building of its city walls in 1613. Hugo O’Neill, descendent of Tyrone and head of his family name, is Portuguese and lives in Setúbal. Stopping over after his ‘Return Flight’ to the ancestral homeland on 8 July, he will speak of the history and culture of Ireland leading up to the events of 400 years ago during this evening of words, music and refreshment.

 | ||
| Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Saturday 13-Jul-13 07:00pm The masterly music composed by Giuseppe Verdi for Shakespeare’s powerful drama, combined with the highly-acclaimed direction of Ralf Långbacka and the costumes and stage designs of Anneli Qveflander together create one of the most successful productions in the history of the Savonlinna Opera Festival. This Macbeth has also been frequently seen on other stages, both in guest performances by the Savonlinna Opera Festival and in rental productions.When lust for power spurs husband and wife to ever more dastardly deeds, an honourable nobleman and first-rate soldier can turn into a human monster who, to be on the safe side, stops at nothing to liquidate any who stand in his way, both friend and foe. This perspective, highlighted in Långbacka’s vision, makes the Savonlinna Macbeth a more human and more “ordinary” character than the one presented in many other productions. And hence so credible and moving.

| Collegium Leoninum, Bonn, Noeggerathstraße 34, 53111 Bonn, Germany Friday 13-Sep-13 08:00pm Cello Metamorphoses Johann Sebastian Bach’s cello suites are among the foundation documents for solo cello music. Without a doubt they influenced the composition of Britten’s colourful, descriptive solo works, which date from some 240 years later than the Bach suites. In Britten’s centenary year, the celebrated cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras has included in his programme a key work by the English composer, one now seen as one of the most penetrating works for the solo cello, with a view to relating it to Bach’s music for the instrument.Image credit: © Yoshinori Mido | ||

Posadas, Liturgia Fractal Sections (1 and 4, Dutch première) |
 | ||
| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Saturday 21-Sep-13 08:15pm Quatuor Diotima - Natuurfenomenen Zijn natuurwetten, het geluid van brekende golven en van ritselende bladeren te vangen in klank? De Spaanse Alberto Posadas probeerde het met vijf strijkkwartetten die hij componeerde in de periode
2004-2008. Twee van deze composities beleven hun Nederlandse première. Het jonge Franse Quatuor Diotima – ‘een van de vijf strijkkwartetten die u gehoord moet hebben’, aldus Gramophone in 2006 – ontving voor hun opname van de Liturgia Fractal in 2009 de prestigieuze Diapason d’Or.
De naam van Quatuor Diotima is ontleend aan Fragmente-Stile, an Diotima van Luigi Nono. Het zwaartepunt van hun repertoire ligt in de 20e-eeuwse muziek die verder gaat en experimenteler is dan louter melodie met begeleiding. De musici vonden elkaar in 1996 en dragen sindsdien de hedendaagse muziek een warm hart toe. Maar wel altijd op het fundament van klassieke werken.

| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Friday 6-Dec-13 07:30pm Janine Jansen and Friends When the fire and passion of Vivaldi’s virtuosic violin concertos reached the ears of the ordered and disciplined Lutheran Johann Sebastian Bach, something special happened. Freed from his organ bench in the early 1720s, Bach composed a series of concertos for the violin that combined energetic propulsion and free-spirited individuality with the intricacy and cohesion he had made his own. Janine Jansen, the Dutch musician known for her expressive and infectiously energetic violin-playing, performs the concertos here with musicians from the Utrecht festival she herself founded.
Tickets:
£15-45 Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750), Violin Concerto in D minor Janine Jansen, Violin/Director Boris Brovtsyn, Violin Cindy Albracht, Violin Fredrik Paulsson, Violin Tijmen Huisingh, Violin Julia-Maria Kretz, Violin Monika Urbonaite, Violin Pauline Sachse, Viola Nimrod Guez, Viola Maarten Jansen, Cello Rick Stotijn, Double Bass Ramón Ortega Quero, Oboe Jan Jansen, Harpsichord | ||
