Metamorfosi: York Early Music Festival 2024
The York Early Music Festival was established in 1977 to celebrate music from the medieval to the baroque within an array of historic venues across the city of York. The festival is administered by the National Centre for Early Music (NCEM). This year's York Early Music Festival, which runs from 6 to 13 July 2024, has the title Metamorfosi and it takes the idea of musical metamorphosis and composers' borrowing, from each other and themselves, as its main theme.The festival's theme is explored in a selection of concerts including The Sixteen in a programme of Lassus and Josquin highlighting the masters' borrowings, and Josquin and his influence is also the theme of The Gesualdo Six's concert. Steven Devine directs the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in music by Bach and Telemann inspired by those evenings at Zimmerman's Kaffeehaus, where of course Bach famously reused material from earlier in his career.

2023 in record reviews: 17th century Venice as a gay haven, Dichterliebe Reimagined, Elgar on viola, Ethel Smyth's first operatic success
Richard Boothby's Music to hear... explored Alfonso Ferrabosco's 1609 book of music for solo lyra viol. Jorge Navarro Colorado and Randall Scotting celebrated 17th-century Venice as a place of tolerance for gay artists. We know Bach, but what of the other applicants for his Leipzig post in 1723? Leipzig 1723 gave us cantatas by Bach, Telemann, and Graupner. Whilst for the next generation of the Bach family, Les Ombres took us back to the elegance of the Bach-Abel evenings in London.With Dichterliebe Reimagined, Koen van Stade and Neal Peres Da Costa brought creative freedom and musical rhetoric to bear on an historically informed account of Schumann's song cycle. Viola player Timothy Ridout seduced in his transcription of Elgar's Cello Concerto. Ethel Smyth's first major success, Der Wald, finally received its premiere recording in a terrific account from John Andrews and BBC Symphony Orchestra, making us ask, why the wait? A disc […]
