Programme
Overview
Step into Vienna’s musical golden age with a dramatic cantata drawn from Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, performed by countertenor Iestyn Davies and harpsichordist Oliver Wass. The program unfolds with Haydn’s elegant songs alongside Beethoven’s early romantic masterpiece, Adelaide, creating an evening of timeless eloquence and power.In this evocative concert, countertenor Iestyn Davies and harpsichordist Oliver Wass transform Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice into a dramatic cantata that captures the opera’s most arresting arias and choruses in their original eloquence. From Orfeo’s heartrending lament to the triumphant strains of love reclaimed, each movement is rendered with crystalline clarity and emotional depth. The program continues with a selection of Haydn’s songs—echoes of the composer’s own Viennese performances of Orfeo in the 1770s—and concludes with Beethoven’s Adelaide, an impassioned early portrait of romantic longing. Together, these masterpieces weave a richly textured portrait of classical Vienna, where innovation and intimacy converge in an unforgettable evening of music.
