SUMMARY:Handel's Samson - Handel-Festspiele
DESCRIPTION:Handel’s oratorio Samson tells of the last days of the great Israelite warrior\, in a dramatic story of his journey from darkness to heavenly light. Opening with Samson in chains\, having lost his strength and been blinded by the Philistines\, it closes with one of Handel’s most famous arias\, ‘Let the bright Seraphim in burning row / their loud\, uplifted angel-trumpets blow’. Composed within a few weeks of Handel’s Messiah and based on a text by John Milton\, it became one of Handel’s most successful and popular oratorios. \n\nSupport Our Recording of Handel’s Samson

SUMMARY:Handel's Messiah (London version 1743) - Krakow
DESCRIPTION:Following their groundbreaking reconstruction of the 1742 Dublin version of Handel’s Messiah\, John Butt and the Dunedin Consort revisit the version performed in London the following year\, a more elaborate affair for which Handel had an unusually large group of vocal soloists. This performance marks the opening of the 2018 Misteria Paschalia Festival\, which this year has a focus on music from the British Isles.

SUMMARY:Venus & Adonis - Krakow
DESCRIPTION:John Blow’s Venus & Adonis is often considered the first opera in English. Combining elements of Ovid\, Shakespeare and the influences of 17th-century French opera\, it creates a powerful dramatic retelling of a tale that charts the extreme states of love and grief when beautiful Adonis is gored to death by a boar. \nThe programme also includes except’s from Purcell’s semi-opera The Fairy Queen\, itself an adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, that conjures a world of gods and goddesses\, nymphs and sprites\, fairies and shepherds\, dancing swans and figures of dream.

SUMMARY:Coffee & Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:Considering the sheer amount of music JS Bach produced in his lifetime\, it’s easy to imagine his work being fuelled by a strong coffee. In fact\, coffee was indeed one of Bach’s great pleasures\, and the coffee houses of eighteenth-century Leipzig featured prominently in its cultural life\, as a place where music and ideas were freely exchanged by artists and intellectuals. In this unique event\, we reimagine the special atmosphere of the Enlightenment coffee house\, performing works by Bach and some of his famous and forgotten contemporaries. As part of the event\, renowned Bach expert John Butt and Tom Jones from the University of St Andrews will lead a discussion on the Enlightenment and its place in contemporary culture. Come along and take all of this in\, coffee-in-hand!

SUMMARY:Love's Fire\, Love's Ashes - Glasgow Cathedral Festival
DESCRIPTION:Claudio Monteverdi’s madrigals are a theatre of the senses. The murmur of the waves\, an amorous glance\, the coolness of water or the heat of the sun are all brought to life through the composer’s unparalleled gift for marrying text and music. Indeed\, the music in these eight books stands alongside Schubert’s songs\, or Bach’s cantatas\, as one of the greatest collections of intimately personal music ever produced. \nThis programme aims to showcase the ravishing beauty of these madrigals\, as well as their expressive scope: profound darkness and blinding light; searing grief and amorous rapture. Like Shakespeare or Leonardo\, there is a fresh twinkle to Monteverdi’s genius each time you look. This is music to stir the passions and move the soul\, and – as the composer explicitly desired – to make us feel and know more vividly both the pain and pleasure of being alive.

SUMMARY:Bach's Organ
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful opportunity to travel to one of a wealth of authentic Bach sites in Thuringia\, to play on an original Bach organ\, built by the highly-esteemed organ builder\, Trost. Its concentration of characteristic voices opens up an enormous world of tonal colours and stop possibilities\, which reveal the true rich sound of Baroque organ music. John Butt is organ soloist and director alongside acclaimed British countertenor Iestyn Davies for this programme of Bach and Handel.

SUMMARY:St John at the PROMS
DESCRIPTION:The climax of the Proms Reformation Day is a complete performance of Bach’s St John Passion. \n‘More daring\, forceful and poetic’ than the St Matthew Passion\, according to Schumann\, this is a work of almost operatic vividness that brings both a humanity and a painful immediacy to the Passion narrative. \nBach specialist John Butt and his Dunedin Consort make their Proms debut in a performance that offers the audience the chance to join in the chorale-singing\, reflecting how the work might originally have been heard in a church setting. \nThis concert will be broadcast live on BBC.

SUMMARY:Seeds of Venice - Edinburgh International Festival
DESCRIPTION:Edinburgh’s own Dunedin Consort\, under scholar and charismatic director John Butt\, is fast becoming one of the UK’s most respected early music groups\, renowned for its vivid\, passionate performances that crackle with energy. \nThey bring a sense of enormous excitement to the launch of the 2017 Queen’s Hall concerts – with the modern-day premiere of a recently rediscovered work by Claudio Monteverdi and Heinrich Schütz. \nCombattimento is German composer Schütz’s transcription of Monteverdi’s bewitching Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda\, a remarkably expressive mini-opera in which a Christian knight from the Crusades mistakenly kills the Saracen woman he loves. \nJoined by two masterful young soloists\, Butt and the Dunedin players pair this electrifying new discovery with scintillating gems by Monteverdi\, Schütz and Buxtehude. \nThis concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3

SUMMARY:Bach and the Reformation
DESCRIPTION:Through his promotion of the German language and his personal love of music\, Martin Luther laid the foundations for the success of the Protestant chorale. The Reformer himself wrote nearly 40 hymns\, which were published in a variety of hymn books from 1523 onward\, many of them still being a part of the liturgical repertoire today. Numerous composers used this musical treasure-trove as a basis for new compositions. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote 14 cantatas based on Luther chorales\, ranging from the early »Christ lag in Todes Banden«\, written in Mühlhausen (1707)\, to his late Leipzig cantata\, »Wär Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit« (1735).

This is music to stir the passions and move the soul\, and – as the composer explicitly desired – to make us feel and know more vividly both the pain and pleasure of being alive.

SUMMARY:Matthew Passion\, Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:When Bach composed his setting of the passion narrative from Matthew’s gospel for the Good Friday liturgy at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1729\, he could scarcely have imagined the universal connection that it was to make with musicians and audiences across the world. Even in the secular age\, its relevance and impact are no less arresting. Whilst less immediately dramatic than the John Passion\, its combination of choruses\, arias and extended ariosos present unparalleled insight into and meditative reflections on some of our most profound emotional states. \nWith just eight solo voices and a team of the very best specialist instrumentalists under the guest director Kristian Bezuidenhout\, one of the world’s foremost keyboard artists and interpreters of eighteenth-century repertory\, Dunedin Consort deliver an inimitably fresh performance of this monumental work\, which still forces us to confront some of the central questions defining human existence.

SUMMARY:Do not repine\, Fair sun.
DESCRIPTION:In 1617\, James VI of Scotland (I of England) made what was to be his first and last visit to his homeland\, as part of an affair now known as the Scottish Progress. In a letter to the Scottish Privy Council\, he described how he felt ‘a salmonlyke instinct…a great and naturall longing to see our native soyle and place of our birth and breeding.’ \nWith the resident musical institution at Holyrood having fallen into hard times\, James imported both an organ and the singers from the Chapel Royal in London\, whose journey north via ship was vividly documented. The occasion resulted in two fascinating pieces by Orlando Gibbons\, chief organist of the Chapel and one of England’s foremost composers. \nIn collaboration with Phantasm\, one of the world’s leading viol consorts\, we commemorate the 400th anniversary of this extraordinary historical episode.

SUMMARY:Suites and Cantatas\, Aberdeen
DESCRIPTION:In addition to his role as Cantor of the Thomasschule in Leipzig\, from 1729 until the early 1740s Bach also held the position of Music Director of the city’s Collegium Musicum. This offered him the opportunity to experiment with novel orchestral timbres. Bach took full advantage of these instrumental resources\, synthesising his characteristically intense counterpoint with visceral dance forms to create tangibly physical musical textures. In this programme\, we explore two of the orchestral suites thought to have been produced during this period. BWV 1066\, opening with a majestic overture scored for oboes\, bassoon and strings\, is performed alongside BWV 1067\, which demands extreme virtuosity on the part of the solo flautist – particularly in its dazzling Badinerie. These are paired with suitable cantatas for the calendar year; Cantata 111 dating from 1725\, in which Bach invokes the example of Jonah as an example of the resolution required to overcome the daily challenges of the world and cantata 81 with its powerful arias for Alto and Tenor.
