Considered the summit of Johann Sebastian Bach’s œuvre and a milestone in music history, the Mass in B Minor transcends genre and time. This monumental, enigmatic fresco unites diverse styles, forms and affects in a single arc. Gli Angeli Genève’s singers, both soloists and ripienists, join players from the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève in a rare side-by-side project under the direction of Stephan MacLeod. The collaboration frames the score as an invitation to encounter voices, instruments and shared sensibilities.
Gautier Capuçon (cello) and Mirabelle Kajenjeri (piano) present an intimate programme of chamber music, juxtaposing Debussy’s lyricism with Mendelssohn’s classical clarity. The programme continues with Schumann’s three Fantasiestücke in the cello-piano version and Brahms’s richly textured Second Cello Sonata, Op. 99. Expect sensitive dialogue, warm tone and finely calibrated phrasing as the two artists explore contrasts of colour and intimacy, drawing listeners into a concentrated and expressive musical journey.
Led by conductor Daniele Gatti with pianist Mao Fujita, this symphonic programme presents Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58, followed by the luminous Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, the ‘Pastoral’. The evening explores intimate dialogue between soloist and orchestra, balancing crystalline pianism with warm orchestral colours and naturalistic, evocative textures. The pacing and dynamic contrasts promise a contemplative, vividly atmospheric interpretation.
Following its exploration of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, Christmas Oratorio and Mass in B minor, the ensemble Gli Angeli presents Bach’s St John Passion (BWV 245). More direct and theatrical than the St Matthew Passion, the work is marked by dramatic intensity, striking contrasts and powerful expressivity. Under the direction of Stephan MacLeod and featuring soloists Guy Cutting, Aleksandra Lewandowska, Zoë Brookshaw, Christopher Lowrey, Thomas Hobbs and Drew Santini, the performance brings rigorous baroque interpretation and vivid emotional immediacy.
