Fêted
British tenor Mark Padmore joins Britten Sinfonia in a ravishing programme
exploring the theme of night in this dramatically-treated performance
directed by Katie Mitchell. Fresh from his acclaimed realisation of Bach’s
St John Passion, Mark Padmore performs this unique, unconducted interpretation
of Britten’s Nocturne, while also beguiling us with two gems of arias
from Handel’s Samson, intensely evocative settings of Milton’s glorious
poetry, including the poignant meditation on Samson’s blindness, ‘Total
Eclipse’. Viola wunderkind Maxim Rysanov takes the leading role in Britten’s
interpretation of Dowland’s Lachrymae and John Woolrich’s Ulysses Awakes,
a moving reworking of Monteverdi.
‘... one
achingly beautiful stanza succeeds the other, and the purity of Padmore's
delivery here is a thing of wonder.’
