A keyboard soloist and conductor, Francesco Corti is one of Europe's most in demand musicians. He is a member of Les Musiciens du Louvre, Bach Collegium Japan and Le Concert des Nations, among several others. He's led Tafelmusik, the English Concert, and the Freiburg Baroqueorcheter, is the musical director at the Drottningholm Royal Court Theatre, and appears on over 30 albums. Francesco takes us through his passion for early music, and performing on instruments authentic to the period. He details his love of this era and shares some of his deep understanding of the fortepiano and its relevance as an instrument today. We also delve into the technique and process of his reconstruction of a JS Bach concerto.  Francesco Corti performs with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra until 2 November.

“Uniformity is a two-edged sword, isn't it? Within a choir you need uniformity or you're not going to get a good blend, but within that uniformity, I want as much individuality as possible. I do a lot of 16th-Century music, early 17th-Century music, which has very, very high, passionate stakes. The individual has to come through. That's what makes it interesting.”Robert Hollingworth was a chorister at Hereford Cathedral, set up his first solo-voice ensemble at the age of 16 and read music at New College, Oxford, followed by a year at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In place of a conventional academic career he has spent 40 years directing vocal groups, notably I Fagiolini, which he founded at university in 1986. Nearly 30 CDs and DVDs have included first recordings of works and collections by Byrd, Croce, Tomkins, Andrea Gabrieli and more. Recent releases include the multi-award winning Striggio 40-part mass, 'Amuse-Bouche' (French 20th century music including premiers of Francaix and Milhaud), and in 2017 'Monteverdi - The Other Vespers' which also featured the University of York's music department's choir, The 24. Winning the Royal Philharmonic Society's Ensemble Award, Gramophone Awards and the Diapason D'Or de l'Annee, the group is 'In Association' at the University of York Music Department where, as well as teaching Undergraduate projects, Robert runs the MA in solo-voice ensemble singing.As a freelancer conductor, Robert has directed the English Concert, Academy of Ancient Music and the BBC Concert Orchestra; among European choirs, Accentus (France), NDR Chor and RIAS Kammerchor (Germany), National Chamber Choir of Ireland, Voces8, BBC Singers and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. He writes and presents programmes for Radio 3 including The Early Music Show and Discovering Music. During lockdown, he created and presented a new youtube series for choral music enthusiasts called 'SingTheScore'. He is the newly appointed director of Stour Music, taking over after 65 years from Alfred and Mark Deller. He founded and presents the UK's top choral music podcast 'Choral Chihuahua' with Eamonn Dougan and Nicholas Mulroy.To get in touch with Robert, look for I Fagiolini on YouTube (@ifagiolini), Facebook (@ifagiolini), Instagram (@i_fagiolini), or their website, ifagiolini.com.Choir Fam wants to hear from you!

SynopsisToday, we note two anniversaries concerning Handel and his music in London.On today's date in 1710, the German-born composer's music was performed in London for the first time when excerpts from his opera Rodrigo were used as incidental music during a revival of Ben Jonson's comic play The Alchemist, written 100 years earlier.It's a nice historical touch that in addition to writing satirical comedies such as The Alchemist, Jonson had supplied the poetic texts for elaborate masques staged at the court of King James I. Masques were a kind of precursor of the lavish Baroque operas such as Handel's Rodrigo, which debuted in Italy just three years before its tunes were recycled for use on the British stage.By 1713, the vogue for Italian operas had reached London, and Handel was on hand to write and stage them. On today's date in 1713, his opera Teseo had its premiere at the Queen's Theatre in London. And, just to show that off-stage events could prove every bit as dramatic as those on-stage, the theater manager, a certain Owen Swiney, ran off to Italy with the box office receipts after the second night's performance!Music Played in Today's ProgramGeorge Frederic Handel (1685-1757) Bourrée, from Rodrigo; Hallé Orchestra; John Barbirolli, cond.

Interpreten: Matthias Höfs, Matthias Janz Label: Berlin Classics EAN: 885470031057 Unter dem Titel „An English Concert“ haben der Trompeter Matthias Höfs und der Organist Matthias Janz eine CD mit Musik von 14 englischen Komponisten aus der Zeit der Renaissance und des Spätbarock aufgenommen. Wie das auf modernen Instrumenten klingt, verrät wie immer Michael Gmasz. Matthias Höfs gehört seit Jahrzehnten zu den führenden Vertretern der Trompetenzunft. Ob vor vielen Jahren noch als Solotrompeter des philharmonischen Orchesters Hamburg und dann als Professor an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg, oder als leitendes Mitglied von German Brass, als Kammermusiker in anderen Besetzungen und natürlich als Solist von Barock bis Modern. Als „Spezialgebiet“ sozusagen hat er sich das Spiel auf den hohen Piccolotrompeten erarbeitet und auf solchen ist er nun auch mit Werken von Georg Friedrich Händel, William Byrd, William Boyce uvm zu hören. Ganz im Sinne der alten Zeit, in der es durchaus üblich war, Musikstücke in unterschiedlichen, gerade passenden, Besetzungen zu spielen, haben Matthias Höfs und sein Orgelbegleiter Matthias Janz Englische Tänze und Lieder, Konzerte und Sonaten und sogenannte Voluntaries für ihre Besetzung arrangiert. Die Entscheidung für das moderne Instrumentarium fiel bewusst, weil es sich vorwiegend um Originalwerke für Flöte oder Blockflöte handelt, die auf einer Naturtrompete so gar nicht spielbar wären. Neben Bekannten, wie den erwähnten Händel, Boyce oder Byrd erlaubt uns diese CD auch so manche Preziose bisher eher unbekannter Meister kennenzulernen. Die beiden kurzen D-Dur Konzerte von John Baston und Robert Woodcock z.B. oder die Werke des mir bisher komplett verborgen gebliebenen John Stanley, der im Freundeskreis um Händel war und immerhin die Position des Master of the King's Music, einer Art Hofkapellmeister am britischen Hof, bekleidete.  (mg)

In this episode, Davina reviews two newly released albums hot off the press:  Handel's 'La Resurrezione' by The English Concert and 'John Wilbye – Draw on Sweet Night ' by I Fagiolini and Robert Hollingworth. The English Concert and Harry Bicket's acclaimed concert cycle of Handel operas and oratorios continues with its second release on Linn, following Handel's Rodelinda last year. La Resurrezione, composed by Handel in his mid-twenties, and first performed on Easter Sunday in 1708, marked the climax of Handel's time in Rome. The work details the events between and during Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This new album features some of today's finest voices including Lucy Crowe, Iestyn Davies, Sophie Bevan, Ashley Riches and Hugo Hymas. Davina is joined in The Classical Corner by Iestyn and Lucy to talk about their favourite arias, Handel's operatic writing and the process of recording the album.   To welcome the spring, I Fagiolini has put aside its beloved Monteverdi to uncover its own national heritage: the best of John Wilbye's classic Golden Age madrigals. The album marks the first specific recording of Wilbye's Madrigals released since the 1980s.  The album covers a central part of English choral culture that has been strangely out of fashion for so long, sung by a group that has matured into the repertoire. The plangent dissonance of ‘Draw on, sweet night' and ‘Weep, weep, mine eyes' evoke English melancholy, while ‘Sweet honeysucking bees' and ‘Adieu, sweet Amaryllis' are such sheer pleasure to sing that many listeners will scrabble to unearth old scores. Davina chats to Robert about how this new album came about, the choice of repertoire and the sheer delight of listening to and singing English madrigals. With special thanks to Linn Records and Coro for the use of these beautiful recordings.

Alison brings along one of their most beautiful tunes and outs herself as a Queen superfan, then shares the Miles Davis tune that brings her most joy.

Was jij erbij, bij één van de blijde intredes van koning Filip en koningin Mathilde in 2013? De kans is klein, want de opkomst was bijzonder mager. Dat was in de 18e eeuw wel even anders! Toen was de inhuldiging van een nieuwe vorst een belevenis die je je leven lang bijbleef. Een stad als Gent was tot vier dagen lang compleet in de ban van pronkerige optochten doorheen versierde straten, van klokkengelui en trompetgeschal en van grootse plechtigheden. Maar voor het gewone volk was een inhuldiging ook een welkome gelegenheid om eens goed uit de bol te gaan: de wijn vloeide rijkelijk en de hele stad verkeerde in een feestroes. Knaldrang in de 18e eeuw! Maar zo'n inhuldiging was natuurlijk veel meer dan een goed feestje. Dr. Klaas Van Gelder legt uit wat de diepere betekenis was van zulke ceremonies en rituelen in een tijd toen macht nog heel ongrijpbaar was.

Growing up in Liverpool, Harry drove his artist mother mad playing The Beatles and took to the piano, but thought of it as more of a hobby than anything else. However, the world had other plans, and with an academic scholarship to Radley College, Harry began playing the chapel organ, and met a teacher who, through his work and his introductions, would change the course of his career. Harry went from the Royal College of Music to organ scholar at St George's Chapel, Windsor and to Christ Church College, Oxford where he was also an organ scholar, and to on to Westminster Abbey. However, the lonely nature of the job forced him to re-think his options, and on the brink of quitting music for business, his neighbour introduced him to Mark Elder, Music Director of English National Opera at the time. Having barely seen an opera, or indeed heard of a repetiteur, after some impressive sight-reading Harry was on the music staff, where he arrived on his first day only to be shouted at by Charles Mackerras for fumbling the offstage banda in The Makropulos Case. Harry shares his journey from his early years through to his successful international career, including his work as the Artistic Director of the English Concert and as Music Director of Santa Fe Opera.

Lucie Skeaping looks at Vivaldi's groundbreaking Op.3 set of concertos for one, two or four violins entitled "L'Estro Armonico", which were published 300 years ago. Vivaldi had them published in Amsterdam, which meant they were readily available throughout northern Europe. The 8 partbooks even landed on the desk of JS Bach, who found them so inspirational he set about making transcriptions of some of them for keyboard instruments. We'll hear some of Vivaldi's concertos in recordings by The English Concert and I Musici, as well as one of Bach's transcriptions - the Concerto for 4 Harpsichords in a performance by Bach Collegium Stuttgart conducted by Helmuth Rilling.
