Mostly Mezzo Mondays: de Negri, Galou, Connolly, Fassbaender, & 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.

Emmanuelle de Negri and Delphine Galou are the name that stand out to me on this upcoming live webcast of Handel’s Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno from Ravenna; I’m not familiar (yet) with their co-stars Monica Piccinini and Anicio Zorzi, but if half the cast is de Negri + Galou, it bodes well for the whole. Ottavio Dantone conducts. Livestream Wednesday, June 24 on the Ravenna Festival website.

Sarah Connolly sings the role of Brangäne in a 2014 live performance recording of Tristan und Isolde at Covent Garden; her co-stars include Nina Stemme (in a universally-lauded performance as Isolde), Stephen Gould (Tristan), and John Tomlinson (King Marke). Archival re-broadcast Saturday, June 27 on BBC Radio 3.

Speaking of archival re-broadcasts, here’s a Rosenkavalier going back almost half a century at the BayStaats: Brigitte Fassbaender as Octavian must chose between Claire Watson as the Marschallin and Lucia Popp as Sophie. Conductor: Carlos Kleiber. Saturday, June 27 on BR Klassik.

I don’t often highlight instrumental music in my Mostly Mezzo Mondays posts, but in the past year or so I’ve found a renewed appreciation for Jordi Savall’s fluid conducting style, so I want to bookmark his concert of assorted baroque pieces with the Budapest Festival Orchestra. It was recorded on March 7 this year, shortly before live music performance on the European continent was widely shut down to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Deferred broadcast Monday, June 29 on Bartók Rádió.
