Phantasm

Contemplation and cultivation of the imagination appear to have been central to the English fantasia. Purcell’s contribution to the genre, as so often with his work, reached heights rarely scaled by others, although he was clearly inspired by the legacy of compositions by Orlando Gibbons, William Lawes, Matthew Locke and John Ward. Phantasm’s programme digs deep into the seventeenth-century viol consort tradition to reveal its greatest treasures. Elizabeth Kenny

Fantasticus stands for intense expression and emotional extravagance. The Netherlands-based baroque ensemble’s playing is directly informed by the stylus fantasticus, a concept coined in 1650 by Athanasius Kircher, the German Jesuit scholar, alchemist and polymath, to describe ‘the most free and unrestrained method of composing’. Each of the works in its programme defies the boundaries of convention, none more so than Marin Marais’s elegiac Tombeau pour Monsieur de Lully. All seats £15

The Passion of Christ has brought forth much powerful music chief amongst which is the extended devotion Maria plena virtute by Fayrfax. Andrew Carwood and The Cardinall’s Musick conclude their Fayrfax Celebration with a selection of mellifluous choral works from early Tudor times, complete with Taverner’s Mater Christi sanctissima and the exquisite ‘Agnus Dei’ from Fayrfax’s Mass Tecum principium . The sub-text of this concert focuses on Cardinal Wolsey – Henry VIII’s principal advisor until his fall from power – and is reflected in the music of John Taverner who was appointed Informator (choirmaster) at Cardinal College (now Christ Church), Oxford. £35 £30 £25 £18

Tuesday 23 June 7.30 pm

A SPECIAL CONCERT TO MARK 25 YEARS OF GERMAN REUNIFICATION Max Raabe has gained international recognition through his interpretations of music from the 1920s and ’30s. Together with his Palast Orchester he has entertained audiences around the world in concert halls and on live television. Their first tour of Australia and New Zealand will begin at the Sydney Opera House in October 2015. In pianist Christoph Israel, Max Raabe has a congenial accompanist with whom he enthrals audiences in a more personal, intimate atmosphere. The repertoire for this programme is drawn from the end of the Weimar Era. This buzzing period came to a brutal end when the Nazis came to power and destroyed Jewish culture. The Jewish composers and lyricists who were meant to be consigned to oblivion come to life again in these performances by Max Raabe and his pianist Christoph Israel. Most of the songs are in German, many in English, some in Spanish, but the music is boundless. In their three to four minute duration, these mini operas reflect the comedy and tragedy of human abysses.

‘He revealed his operatic training with a superbly controlled voice that ranged from warm baritone croon to soaring, silken alto’ The Times This concert will be approximately one hour in duration, without an interval £25 £20 £15 £10 In cooperation with the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany

This great masterwork prefaces the Leipzig String Quartet’s account of Haydn’s ‘swansong’, the fragmentary String Quartet Op. 103, before the ensemble then gives the UK première of a new quartet by the Polish composer Hanna Kulenty. £30 £25 £20 £15

Borodin Quartet Shostakovich String Quartet No. 3 in F Op. 73 Beethoven String Quartet in F minor Op. 95 ‘Serioso’ Beethoven String Quartet in C Op. 59 No. 3 ‘Razumovsky’

To mark its 70th anniversary year, the Borodin Quartet offers its vision of a work written soon after the group’s formation. Shostakovich’s enigmatic String Quartet No. 3 reflects on the insanity of war and the legacy of fear fuelled by Stalin’s terror campaign against ordinary citizens. The Borodins turn to Beethoven after the interval Borodin Quartet and the ‘Serioso’ Quartet, originally intended for ‘a small circle of connoisseurs’, and the deeply personal expression of the composer’s third ‘Razumovsky’ Quartet. £35 £30 £25 £18

They open with the Violin Sonata in G Op. 6, a seductively Romantic composition completed in 1912 by the fifteen-year-old prodigy Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who later found fame in Hollywood. Debussy’s Violin Sonata in G minor, his final composition, explores the creative tension between contrasting musical moods.
