Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Alder, Coote, I. Davies, and 4 Dutch singers LIVE from Amsterdam

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.

Let’s start with the excitement of a LIVE concert. Judith van Wanroij, Helena Rasker, Linard Vrielink, and Thomas Oliemans, along with pianists Lestari Scholtes and Gwylim Janssens perform a program of Schubert and Brahms live at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ. Live broadcast Wednesday, July 29 on NPO Radio 4.

Now we’ll shift back to the pre-recorded concerts that are continuing to make up most of the music broadcast offerings while we wait for a COVID-19 vaccine. Louise Alder sings works by Mozart, Rossini, and Léhar as part of a generally upbeat concert with the Luxembourg Philharmonic that was recorded back in January, a couple months before the pandemic shit hit the fan for live performance. Deferred broadcast Wednesday, July 29 on Radio 100,7.

Alice Coote sings Elgar’s Sea Pictures as part of a 2014 Proms concert with the Hallé. Rebroadcast Thursday, July 30 on BBC Radio 3.

Another concert being hauled out of the Proms archives, this one dating back to 2009: Iestyn Davies and Simon Wall sing works by Purcell and Blow with the Academy of Ancient Music. Rebroadcast Sunday, August 2 on BBC Radio 3.

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Ann Hallenberg in recital; Mozart and Bruckner with notable casts

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.

Ann Hallenberg and Mats Widlund’s recital at the Teatro de la Zarzuela is scheduled for live broadcast on Tuesday. Their program includes works by Johannes Brahms, Clara Schumann, Nikolai Medtner, Gunnar de Frumerie and Gustav Mahler. Tuesday, October 10 on Radio Clásica.

This one’s for Val: the live Met audio broadcast of Mozart’s The Magic Flute can be heard on Tuesday with a cast including Kathryn Lewek (Queen of the Night), Golda Schultz (Pamina), Charles Castronovo (Tamino), Markus Werba (Papageno), and Tobias Kehrer (Sarastro). Tuesday, October 10 on the Met Opera website.

I’m not that into Bruckner but any program involving Sandrine Piau will at least catch my eye. She sings in Bruckner’s Mass No. 3 in F Minor along with Catherine Wyn-Rogers, Toby Spence, Thomas Oliemans, the Balthasar Neumann Choir, and the Basel Symphony Orchestra. Thursday, October 12 on SRF 2 Kultur.
