Early music meets jazz: A Baroque jam session with Rolf Lislevand at the Rheingau Music Festival

Travis Mason, 13th August

Founded in 2005, Concerto Stella Matutina hail from the musically rich Vorarlberg region of Austria (home of the Schubertiade). For this evening’s concert, they were represented by two violins, a viola, cello and double bass apiece, a concert organ and percussion, plus their magnificent Baroque brass section – three players with a variety of horns, trumpets, trombones and cornetts.

Alice Hughes, 23rd May

Most musicians with an arresting stage presence tend to command attention with an awe-inspiring magnetism. There are, however, a handful who possess a rare ability to mesmerize an audience just as much with a calm and phlegmatic demeanour.

La música como única senda de decir lo vedado a la palabra

Ramón del Buey Cañas, 18th May

Acompañado de Rolf Lislevand -tiorba y guitarra-, Michael Behringer -clave y órgano- y Philippe Pierlot -viola da gamba baja de 7 cuerdas-, Jordi Savall ha rendido homenaje a una película que, en 1991, sirvió para mucho como pasarela de acceso a las figuras y la música de Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, Marin Marais o el propio Savall.

Beate Langenbruch

Incapable de départager musique et littérature dans sa vie, Beate a décidé de se consacrer passionnément aux deux. La maîtresse de conférences en littérature française (Moyen Âge) et soprano allemande parcourt le monde pour ses recherches comme pour chanter, avec son trio de musique de chambre, en soliste ou en choeur. Ses années d'expériences instrumentales (piano, flûte, guitare) n'ont que très modérément entravé son amour inconditionnel de la voix et du répertoire choral en particulier.
