| Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra For nearly five decades Sir John Eliot Gardiner with his Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra have been thrilling audiences with performances that marry freshness, clarity and a peerless vocal virtuosity. With a remarkable repertoire spanning eight centuries of western music from sacred music to opera, madrigals to oratorio, it is perhaps Bach that provides the constant, most famously in their extraordinary millennium pilgrimage project. Here in the first of
two Bach programmes, Ascensiontide cantatas are wrapped around one of his best-loved instrumental works, the sublime double violin concerto. ‘If there were a Nobel prize for choirs, the Monteverdi Choir should be its laureate’ - Le Monde Pre-performance talk with Michael White, Peter Pears Recital Room 6.30pm.

| Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Sunday 16-Jun-13 06:00pm Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra II 1964: Sir John Eliot Gardiner forms the Monteverdi Choir, and forges a partnership that has become a byword for superlative interpretations and pioneering practice in early music and beyond, defined by illuminating and inspiring performances. The same year, Imogen Holst leaves her Aldeburgh post having established a rich legacy of programming and performing baroque and pre-baroque music at the Festival. Bach’s great Passion has been a touchstone for Gardiner and Aldeburgh and, fittingly, the midpoint of the Britten centenary Festival is marked by one of the great monuments in musical history in the hands of one of its most notable modern interpreters. Tickets are limited to two per booker Mark Padmore, Tenor: Evangelist Peter Harvey, Baritone: Pilate Matthew Brook, Bass: Christus Hannah Morrison, Soprano Meg Bragle, Alto Nicholas Mulroy, Tenor Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Conductor The Monteverdi Choir | ||

| Château de Versailles: Chapelle Royale, Paris, Place d'Armes, 78000 Versailles, 78000 Paris, France Thursday 27-Jun-13 08:30pm Bach: Easter and Ascension oratorios For almost 50 years now, Sir John Eliot Gardiner has explored the riches of Western choral music with the choir that he founded, the Monteverdi Choir.This fervent passion for vocal music, the expression of the soul, is expressed above all for Gardiner in the interpretation of the works of Bach, the summit of the baroque style and the cornerstone of sacred music. Hundreds of concerts and dozens of recordings have been dedicated by the Monteverdi Choir to the Cantor of Leipzig. His crazy but brilliant idea, the Bach Pilgrimage of 2000, took Gardiner and his singers on a long tour to perform and record the entire sacred cantatas of Bach in the most prestigious places of the history of Europe. It resulted in memorable concerts, immortalised by the CDs issued in their wake: the finest Bach collection imaginable. In September 2011, Gardiner chose the Royal Chapel of Versailles to perform the Motets of Bach: this was a sumptuous concert, whose recording in London a few weeks later testified to the musical perfection achieved by the composer in terms of both baroque rhetoric and religious depth (a CD unanimously hailed). In June 2012, the concert devoted to sacred music of the English Renaissance left the audience speechless at such perfection, including the long encore of processional litanies that the Monteverdi Choir pursued in the sacristy, revealing the immemorial meaning of the holy place. This time, in June 2013, the choice of Sir John Eliot Gardiner goes to two outstanding works of the liturgical compositions of Bach: the Easter Oratorio and the Ascension Oratorio. The first, composed for Leipzig in 1725, describes the surprise of the Apostles before the empty tomb: the miracle of the Resurrection. The second, also composed for Leipzig a decade later, in 1735, evokes the mystical ascent of the body of Christ into Heaven, his definitive victory over death. Marking two of the most crucial moments of the Christian liturgy, these two works allowed Bach to draw on all his evocative genius, while remaining firmly anchored in the faith of the Lutheran tradition. As for each concert of Gardiner in the Royal Chapel, addressing God familiarly is the musical challenge... Image credit: © Agathe Poupeney | ||

The Easter Oratorio opens with a Sinfonia that pitches a trio of trumpets against consorts of woodwinds and strings, and a poignant Adagio for solo oboe. Scored for similar forces, the Ascension Oratorio features an alto aria that mirrors the curves of the Agnus Dei from Bach’s Mass in B minor. Sir John Eliot Gardiner, 70 this year, directs the internationally renowned Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists.Tickets £18 - £24. | ||
