Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Baráth, Gens, Bardon, Im, Piau, and more

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.

Emőke Baráth and Philippe Jaroussky combine forces with the Ensemble Artaserse for a concert of Handel arias and concerti. Live broadcast Thursday, September 13 on Bartók Rádió.

Véronique Gens sings Berlioz’ Les nuits d’été as part of a concert by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Thursday, September 13 on RÁS 1.

If you were well impressed by Patricia Bardon in Giulio Cesare this past summer, you might like to try her in some Mahler. Along with Orla Boylan, she she sings in a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Resurrection, scheduled for live broadcast Friday, September 14 on RTÉ Lyric FM. 

Sunhae Im is the only name I recognize offhand on the roster for this performance of Handel’s Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, but she’s a good one. Her fellow vocal soloists are Robin Johannsen, Benno Schachtner, and Thomas Walker. This concert by the Freiburger Barockorchester is apparently going to be video-livestreamed on Culturebox, although World Concert Hall says “Live worldwide webcast to be confirmed.” If it happens, it will be Saturday, September 15 on Culturebox.

The wonderful Sandrine Piau is among the soloists for a concert of lesser-known Mozart works with accentus and the Insula orchestra. Laurence Equilbey conducts. Sunday, September 16 on France Musique.
