Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Panthaki, J. Prégardien, Hallenberg, Gerhaher (x2), Coote, Röschmann

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: a recurring (though not weekly) feature where, on Monday nights, I blog a list of the upcoming broadcasts that have caught my eye on World Concert Hall. My interests: baroque vocal music, art song recitals, and a list of favorite singers.

I like Sherezade Panthaki in Handel, so this Samson recorded live with the NDR Radiophilarmonie last year has caught my eye. Deferred broadcast Wednesday, May 20 on NDR Kultur.

I haven’t yet listened to Julian Prégardien at all, but this concert of mostly pretty obscure French baroque rep has piqued my interest. Rebroadcast Wednesday, May 20 on WDR 3.

As I think I remarked the first time this Dream of Gerontius was broadcast from Stockholm, I think of Ann Hallenberg as a baroque specialist, but here she shows her versatility in Elgar, along with co-soloists Andrew Staples and Sir Simon Keenlyside. Rebroadcast Friday, May 22 on Sveriges Radio P2. 

Longtime recital partners Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber gave one of the most mind-blowingly great recitals I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending, so I am curious to hear the archival recording of one of their recitals from thirteen years ago. The repertoire is Schubert and Mahler. Friday, May 22 on SWR 2. 

Christian Gerhaher is also among the musicians slated to perform in a “virtuellen trimedialen Auftritt” (virtual trimedia appearance), billed as “Wir Für die Musik,” being organized in Munich on the same day as the archival broadcast. Radio and video livestreams Friday, May 22 on BR-Klassik and its website.

For the Alice Coote fans: her Glyndebourne Hansel and Gretel, with Tara Erraught as the Sandman, is being brought back for (audio only) broadcast by the Beeb. Saturday, May 23 on BBC Radio 3. 

Dorothea Röschmann sings Donna Elvira in a video stream of Don Giovanni from the Wiener Staatsoper; Simon Keenlyside and Erwin Schrott are Giovanni and Leporello, respectively. Monday, May 25 on the Staatsoper’s streaming website.

Opera on YouTube

I've shared links to complete opera performances before, but I love to share them, so I thought I'd make a few masterposts.

These list are by no means the only complete filmed performances of these operas on YouTube, but I decided that ten links for each opera was enough for now.

By the way, some of the subtitles are just a part of the video, while others require you to click CC to see them.

Die Zauberflöte “The Magic Flute” -  Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen Pt. 2 (Royal Opera House)

[verdiprati]

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Connolly, DiDonato (x2), Invernizzi, Antonacci, Cargill (x2), Leonard, Bartoli (vintage), Barton, and Röschmann

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: a recurring (though not weekly) feature where, on Monday nights, I blog a list of the upcoming broadcasts that have caught my eye on World Concert Hall. My interests: baroque vocal music, art song recitals, and a list of favorite singers.

Mostly Mezzo Mondays has been mostly on hiatus in recent weeks, but it is back today with an absolute MEZZ-o-RAMA of upcoming broadcasts, plus a few of my favorite sopranos thrown into the mix, covering a huge range of repertoire. There should be something for everyone in this week’s MMM.

First and foremost in my heart, we have Dame Sarah Connolly among the soloists for a Beethoven Missa Solemnis recorded at a concert in Berlin in 2018. Malin Hartelius, Steve Davislim, and Hanno Müller-Brachmann fill out the rest of the vocal soloists’ roster; they sing with Le Concert Olympique and the Arnold Schoenberg Chor conducted by Jan Caeyers. Unlike many of the other performances in this week’s MMM list, this one has not (to my knowledge) been broadcast previously. Tuesday, April 28 on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

Joyce DiDonato sings the title role in Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda as part of the Metropolitan Opera’s series of free video streams; Elza van den Heever plays her rival Elisabetta in this production from 2013. Tuesday, April 28 on the Met website.

I admire Roberta Invernizzi’s work in Italian baroque repertoire; I look forward to hearing what she can do with Elizabethan and early English baroque music in the first half of a recital recorded in early 2018. The second half of the program, which she shares with lutenists Franco Pavan and Ugo Di Giovanni, turns to Italian works. Wednesday, April 29 on Rai Radio 3. 

The Wiener Staatsoper’s free video stream offerings this week include a production of Berlioz’s Les Troyens from 2018 with Anna Caterina Antonacci in the role of Cassandre and Joyce DiDonato as Didon. Thursday, April 30 via the Staatsoper’s streaming platform.

Fans of Karen Cargill may want to catch the re-broadcast of her performance in Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 with the BBC Philharmonic, the BBC National Chorus of Wales, and the Boy and Girl Choristers of Gloucester Cathedral, recorded in 2017. Thursday, April 13 on BBC Radio 3.

A mezzo gets the title role in a second Met video stream this week: Isabel Leonard sings the lead in Nico Muhly’s Marnie. Iestyn Davies and Christopher Maltman also star in the production, which was filmed in 2018. Thursday, April 30 on the Met website.

Karen Cargill sings the role of Marguerite in Berlioz’s La damnation de Faust; Bryan Hymel and Gerald Finley sing Faust and Mephistopheles, respectively, in a rebroadcast of a 2017 performance with the London Symphony Orchestra. Friday, May 1 on BBC Radio 3.

I promised there would be something for everyone in this week’s MMM, and that includes some vintage Cecilia Bartoli in a concert of Italian baroque arias that she performed along with Le Musiche Nove in 2002. Friday, May 1 on SWR 2.

Jamie Barton sings the role of Fricka in Wagner’s Das Rheingold; Iain Paterson is her Wotan in a 2014 production from the Houston Grand Opera. Saturday, May 2 on the radio station HPM Classical.

And finally, Dorothea Röschmann sings three fragments from Berg’s Wozzeck as part of a concert with the Berliner Philharmoniker recorded in 2018. Saturday, May 2 on RBB Kultur.
