The 62nd Aldeburgh Festival are proud to present Caius College Choir, Christiane Oelze and Ian Bostridge in their 2009 line-up of performances.
Caius College Choir, from Cambridge together with director Geoffrey Webber provide a performance of Haydn, Debussy, Joye, Duruflé and Britten on Wednesday, 24 June at 3pm. Britten’s exquisite Flower Songs find resonance in a famous 15th-century English song ‘O rosa bella’, the source of Gille Joye’s French mass of the time. In choice of text and musical styles, Debussy and Duruflé hark to the past for inspiration. The programme also commemorates Haydn’s visit to England, and Anglo-French links are further tautened in Auden and Britten’s take on an ancient carol. Christiane Oelze makes a notable Aldeburgh debut on Tuesday 16 June at 7:30pm with works by Schumann and Messiaen. Her celebrated reputation on the opera stage is matched by her peerless performances of imaginatively devised Lieder programmes such as this. The rich and exotic palette applied to Messiaen’s epic canvas seem a world away from the more somber colours of Schumann’s beautifully wrought Lieder from over a century earlier. This performance is a bold juxtaposition of two celebrated cycles and an enticing prospect. Ian Bostridge includes a programme with Schumann and Brahms’ settings on Friday 26 June at 8pm. Promising poignant short stories, scenes suffused with love fulfilled and thwarted, with yearning, tenderness, bitterness and wit. Thoughtful and versatile interpreters, the celebrated and familiar partnership of Ian Bostridge and Graham Johnson bring these intensely personal tableaux to life with a vitality, freshness and an acute sense of drama. EXAUDI vocal ensemble explores Birtwistle’s enduring fascination with the Orphic myth in his monumental Boethius madrigal On the Sheer Threshold of the Night, and in the famous electronic interludes from his opera The Mask of Orpheus. The Three Latin Motets from The Last Supper provide a haunting entrance to his saturnine sound-world, complemented by music from two great Elizabethan poets of melancholy, John Dowland and John Ward.
