Music from long-past eras brought vividly into the present: Bach’s famous »Brandenburg Concertos« and works by his Czech contemporary Zelenka are just as much part of the programme as Renaissance music performed by Raphaël Pichon and Pygmalion
The »Das Alte Werk« series opens the season with »sweet remembrance« as the ensemble Capriccio Stravagante weaves a programme around the enchanting French chanson »Doulce memoire«, which was known throughout Europe in the 16th century. Johann Sebastian Bach’s »Brandenburg Concertos«, still world-famous today, are presented by the spirited Balthasar Neumann Orchestra. Bach’s Czech colleague Jan Dismas Zelenka takes centre stage in a concert with Prague’s Collegium 1704, while Raphaël Pichon and his acclaimed ensemble Pygmalion perform Renaissance works that unfold refined spatial sound effects.
Two concert performances of Shakespeare operas round off the subscription series: René Jacobs brings the corpulent knight Falstaff to the stage – not in Giuseppe Verdi’s version, but in that of Mozart’s contemporary Antonio Salieri. And the ensemble Vox Luminis presents Henry Purcell’s »The Fairy Queen«, an early musical setting of »A Midsummer Night’s Dream«.
