Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Röschmann (x2), Lindsey, and a strong St John Passion
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.
Dorothea Röschmann sings excerpts from Tannhäuser as part of a concert with the Münchener Kammerorchester. Live broadcast Thursday, April 11 on BR Klassik.
Mezzophiles who especially admire Kate Lindsey may want to catch the radio broadcast of a “made-for-Cleveland production” of Ariadne auf Naxos in which she sang der Komponist earlier this year. Co-stars include Tamara Wilson, Andreas Schager, and Daniela Fally among others. Saturday, April 13 on WCLV. (Note: because World Concert Hall uses GMT for all listings, this concert is shown as being broadcast at 0:00 on the 14th, but that is 8:00 p.m. on the 13th, Cleveland time.)*
William Christie generally picks good singers to work with on baroque repertoire and the upcoming St John Passion he is conducting with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is no exception. The lineup: Reinoud van Mechelen (Evangelist), Alex Rosen (Christus), Emőke Baráth, Iestyn Davies, Anthony Gregory, and Renato Dolcini. Rosen is the only one completely unknown to me, while Gregory is vaguely familiar from social meda; the rest, I have definitely heard in live performance and I approve of this team. Live broadcast Sunday, April 14 on NPO Radio 4.*
Dorothea Röschmann sings fragments from Wozzeck as part of a concert with the Berliner Philharmoniker. (This concert took place in late March and I’m told there’s video available on the Berlin Phil’s Digital Concert Hall.) Deferred radio broadcast Sunday, April 14 on Kulturradio RBB.
Broadcasts marked with an asterisk (*) are on stations known to me to have a history of making concerts available for listening on demand for at least a week after the initial broadcast.
