Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Genaux (x2), Sampson, Rice, and Connolly
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.
Vivica Genaux and Valer Sabadus sing a selection of baroque “scenes and arias” in a concert with the Academia Montis Regalis recorded earlier this year. Saturday, December 1 on Kulturradio-RBB.
Brit favorites Carolyn Sampson and Christine Rice are among the soloists for the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Live broadcast scheduled for Saturday, December 1 on WCRB. NOTE: Although the broadcast starts at 7:30 p.m. on December 1 local (Boston) time, it is listed in the wee hours of December 2 on World Concert Hall, which expresses all times in GMT.
Vivica Genaux stars in the Pinchgut Opera production of Hasse’s Artaserse along with David Hansen, Carlo Vistoli, et al. Sunday, December 2 on ABC Classic FM. (Note that because this show is being broadcast from Australia, the start time falls in the morning in Europe and in the middle of the night in the Americas.)
Laura Aikin, Sarah Connolly, Steve Davislim, and Hanno Müller-Brachmann are the soloists in a performance of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with Le Concert Olympique. The concert was recorded November 21 in Antwerp. Deferred broadcast Monday, December 3 on Klara.
