| Konzerthaus: Rolf Böhme Saal, Freiburg, Konrad-Adenauer-Platz 1, 79098 Freiburg, Germany Monday 3-Jun-13 08:00pm Freiburger Barockorchester: The first FBO concert from 1987 After two years practicing and rehearsing, sometimes alongside their own courses of study,the time finally came: a young, enthusiastic crowd of musicians presented themselves in Burgheim Church in Lahr for the first time in a concert under the name Freiburg Baroque Orchestra on 8 November 1987. On the programme then (and today) a kaleidoscope of European Baroque music: the start of a major success story. True to the democratic self-image of the newly founded orchestra, the individual pieces were directed at the time by a variety of concert masters and concert mistresses from within the band’s own ranks. This will be the case again at this concert at the end of the FBO jubilee season. How will it sound when the same orchestra plays a “historical encore” after 25 years?

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! | ||

Château de Versailles: Grand Trianon, Paris Music for King's gardens: William Christie Versailles Festival |
|
 | ||
| Château de Versailles: Grand Trianon, Paris, Allée de la Reine, 78000 Versailles Paris, France Saturday 8-Jun-13 09:00pm Music for King's gardens: William Christie Parc et jardins In 2013, as part of the year dedicated to Le Nôtre – gardener to Louis XIV – to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his birth, William Christie will be conducting two exceptional concerts on 8 & 9 June at the Grand Trianon of the Palace of Versailles. William Christie, as we all now know, is passionately dedicated to gardening, plants, flowers, horticulture and everything to do with gardens. On his estate in Vendée he has devoted years of work to producing an outstanding reconstruction of the French-style formal garden, which last year became a musical garden thanks to the festival that he inaugurated there. When we spoke with William Christie about the 400th anniversary of the birth of Le Nôtre, he immediately volunteered to pay musical homage to this designer of genius. "Music for the King’s Gardens" was the title that he found for this project, with the concerts to be given pertinently but somewhat exceptionally under the Peristyle of the Grand Trianon. Between the Main Courtyard and the Gardens designed by Le Nôtre, in the warmth and fading light of the summer evening, the Peristyle will recover the splendour and intimate atmosphere that Louis XIV so admired in it. This marble colonnaded portico surrounded by plants will be the magnificent setting for works of music composed by contemporaries of Louis XIV and Le Nôtre. Le Nôtre regarded gardens as the continuation of architecture by other means. For William Christie, they are also the most sumptuous setting for performing baroque music which evokes the open air, the pastoral world, hunting, nature in all its metamorphoses... So he decided to present three outstanding works here. First of all, two works that are directly linked to the work of Le Nôtre in the Gardens of Versailles: Lully composed "La Grotte de Versailles" in direct reference to the Thetys Grotto which held the splendid sculpture group of Apollo and the Nymphs (now to be seen in the Grove of Apollo’s Baths). This celebrated Italian-style grotto, of which only engravings remain, was perhaps the most precious ornament of the Gardens of Versailles in their early state. Built in 1666, it was demolished in 1684 to make way for the extension of the palace. In 1668, Lully and Quinault dedicated a vocal and instrumental work to it. A few years later, Lalande composed "Les Fontaines de Versailles", a mini-opera in six scenes, performed in Versailles on 5 April 1683. This also paid homage to the most famous ornaments of the Gardens of Versailles, these fountains whose spectacular water features have come down through the centuries without losing their celebrity. "Louis brings in the new season accompanied by games and love” reads the libretto: could one imagine a finer homage to the spring and the King? William Christie will combine these two works by musicians who were closest to the King, in an evocation of the gardens of Louis XIV. When Charpentier composed his pocket-size opera Actéon in 1684, it was not for the King, but for the Duchesse de Guise, whose musical entertainment he directed. The work was a success and has continued to be performed many times until our own day. Charpentier, who probably sung the title role at its first performance, based the libretto on the account in Ovid’s Metamorphoses of the passions and the misadventures of the young hunter Actaeon, who loves Diana, the goddess of hunting and virginity, whom he unexpectedly sees bathing in the forest which is her domain. To punish his indecent curiosity, she transforms him into a stag who is then devoured by his own hounds. A baroque parable of the ravages of love, Actéon is one of the masterpieces of the composer and of all the music of the late 17th century. We can be sure that William Christie and his Arts Florissants, in this ideal setting, will give these works a truly memorable rendition.... | ||

Anyone who has seen it surely remembers the scene in which a spaceship dances majestically around the Earth to the sound of An der schönen blauen Donau (The Blue Danube) by Johann Strauss (Jr)… Music by Ligeti, Khachaturian, and Richard Strauss also helped to make the film what it is.

| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Thursday 20-Jun-13 07:30pm Flowers and Fables Sibelius took the classical symphony and charged it with the freshness and energy of nature itself. 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) | ||

| Sanssouci Palace: Court of Honour, Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany Sunday 23-Jun-13 09:00pm Scandinavian Last Night This week midsummer night is celebrated everywhere in the North and each country has its very own customs. In Denmark and Norway the summer solstice festivities were connected to John the Baptist’s saint’s day, so celebrations commence tonight into "St. Hans Eve". Lighting huge bonfires to scare away evil spirits is always an important part, then there is the traditional "fire speech", which takes a satirical look at day-to-day affairs. In Denmark they even place a straw witch on top of the fire and send her back to Mount Brocken in the Harz Mountains in Germany – German craftsmen are reported to have brought this custom to the country a long time ago. A night of miracles and legends – perfect for entering musical fairy-tale worlds where Shakespeare’s elves, Nordic trolls and characters from Arabian nights gather …

| Royal Albert Hall, London, Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP, United Kingdom Sunday 14-Jul-13 07:30pm Prom 4 An evening of riot and revolution in dance music from the court of Louis XIV to the Ballets Russes. François-Xavier Roth directs Les Siècles in the first period-instrument performance at the Proms of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, marking the work’s centenary. Suites from Lully’s piquant social comedy Le bourgeois gentilhomme, Rameau’s Les Indes galantes, Delibes’s Coppélia and Massenet’s Moorish romance Le Cid provide more than two centuries of historical context for the work that scandalised and galvanised Paris at its 1913 premiere. Tickets £9.50 - £46. Lully, Jean-Baptiste (1632-1687), Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme: excerpts (overture and dances) Massenet, Jules (1842-1912), Le Cid: ballet suite (excerpts) | ||

| Royal Albert Hall, London, Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP, United Kingdom Monday 15-Jul-13 07:30pm Prom 5 The brilliantly virtuosic Arditti Quartet and a conductor and orchestra acclaimed for their interpretations of Mahler join forces in the UK premiere of Helmut Lachenmann’s Tanzsuite mit Deutschlandlied. Previously unheard at the Proms, the blistered, metallic timbres and subtle textures of Lachenmann’s ‘musique concrète instrumentale’ unsettle and transfix, creating an abrasive yet alluring sound-world ideally suited to the Ardittis and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Written over the summers of 1901 and 1902, Mahler’s Fifth Symphony concludes the programme, its famous Adagietto a love-letter to the composer’s wife, Alma.Tickets £7.50 - £36.
