The Sixteen: Music for Reflection, live from Kings Placeįor this week’s Live from London vocal recital we moved from the home of VOCES8, St Anne and St Agnes in the City of London, to Kings Place, where The Sixteen - who have been associate artists at the venue for some time - presented a programme of music and words bound together by the theme of ‘reflection’. For, the audience at Wigmore Hall gave soprano Elizabeth Llewellyn and pianist Simon Lepper a greatly deserved warm reception and hearty response following this lunchtime recital of late-Romantic song. And, reducing audience numbers doesn’t lower the volume of such acclamations. A wonderful Wigmore Hall debut by Elizabeth LlewellynĮvidently, face masks don’t stifle appreciative “Bravo!”s. Treasures of the English Renaissance: Stile Antico, Live from LondonĪlthough Stile Antico’s programme article for their Live from London recital introduced their selection from the many treasures of the English Renaissance in the context of the theological debates and upheavals of the Tudor and Elizabethan years, their performance was more evocative of private chamber music than of public liturgy. Dreams and delusions from Ian Bostridge and Imogen Cooper at Wigmore HallĮver since Wigmore Hall announced their superb series of autumn concerts, all streamed live and available free of charge, I’d been looking forward to this song recital by Ian Bostridge and Imogen Cooper. It was no less enjoyable for that, and it was also uplifting to learn that this wasn’t in fact the ‘last’ LfL event that we will be able to enjoy, courtesy of VOCES8 and their fellow vocal ensembles (more below ). This tenth of ten Live from London concerts was in fact a recorded live performance from California. Love, always: Chanticleer, Live from London via San Francisco The season features music for solo singer and piano by Argento, Britten, Tippett and Shostakovich with a bold and inventive approach to making opera during social distancing.
