A Remarkable Mezzo
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The remarkable mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson sings Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantata, “Ich habe genug” this evening. Don’t miss her. She begins our second hour . . .
The evening begins with music by Percy Aldridge Grainger. Pianist Martin Jones offers us “Near Woodstock Town,” an arrangement of a folk song. We’ll end with it as well, after we hear “Blithe Bells,” Grainger's ramble on Bach’s cantata, "Was mir behagt." Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Oboe Concerto receives a wonderful performance from soloist David Theodore, Bryden Thomson heading the London Symphony. And René Jacobs leads the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin on a merry chase in the Telemann Suite for Winds in F, nicknamed “La chasse.”
“Ich habe genug” translates “I am satisfied.” You’ll be satisfied, too, if you listen to mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson’s beautiful participation in tonight’s Bach offering, Craig Smith conducting the Orchestra of Emmanuel Music on a 2003 Nonesuch recording. Glenn Gould’s rendering of Bach’s Fantasia in C Minor follows, as we head towards a most satisfying finish (see our Grainger note above).
