Misteria Paschalia

De aseară am intrat într-o stare febrilă de transă, probabil vecină cu nebunia - asta pentru că am văzut programul ediţiei din acest an a festivalului la care, dacă reuşesc să ajung, ar fi pentru a treia oară. Misteria Paschalia este locul emoţiei muzicale maxime, Mecca mea de meloman, aşa cum Cracovia a devenit, malgré soi, templul tuturor nostalgiilor mele. Postez mai jos programul de anul acesta, ca să-l am la îndemînă şi să-mi amintesc la fiecare intrare pe blog unde-mi doresc cu ardoare să ajung. Îmi era dor să mai doresc ceva.

The festival will start in grand style. Missa Romana by Roman Pergolesi will leave no one indifferent; especially as performed by Rinaldo Alessandrini. Many remember the phenomenal interpretation of this mass recorded for the ‘Opus 111 Music Studio’ – now the ‘White Raven Studio’.

7 April 2009, 9.30 pm
St. Katarzyna Church

Jerusalem is a new project by Jordi Savall. So far it has been presented to audiences in Paris, Barcelona and Jerusalem only. For the project, a Catalan artist asked musicians of different faiths, religions and performance styles to work together. The effect is breathtaking, presenting Jerusalem as a city that is divine, celestial, human and earthly... A Polish element is also present – the poignant lyrics of a song written by an Auschwitz prisoner.



8 April

Dominicans Monastery

We’ve done it! After years of hard work, we’ve finally succeeded in tempting Francois Couperin's Leçons de Ténèbres. Added value here comes from the fact that Vincent Dumestre, together with the spectacular voices of Claire Lefiliâtre and Camille Paul, are preparing it specifically for us.

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi – Salve Regina
Nicola Antonio Porpora – Salve Regina
Francesco Durante – Concerto in mi minore

Josè Maria Lo Monaco – a revelation from the previous edition of the Misteria Paschalia, and Maria Grazia Schiavo – a regular performer at the festival. This time, accompanied by the Giancarla Rada ensemble, they will perform the Salve Regina by Pergolesi and Porpola. We are in for an arousing performance, since this duo offers more than just beautiful voices ...

Sara Mingardo – kontralt

Venice Baroque Orchestra

Good Friday
10 April 2009

Everyone knows Sara Mingardo – a voice that enraptures and astounds. The artist accepted her invitation here along with the Kraków debut of the Andrea Marcon ensemble. Their offering corresponds with the compositions performed by Philippe Jaroussky during the Misteria Paschalia in 2005. Then, the best contratenor – now, the best contralto.

Cappella della Pietà de’ Turchini
Antonio Florio – conductor

Holy Saturday
11 April 2009, 8.00 pm
St. Kinga Chapel , Wieliczka Salt Mine

Antonio Florio and his ensemble decided to bring to Kraków music which he explores and studies; one which fascinates and absorbs him and to which he is utterly devoted: the Naples of the 17th century and a completely new look at the Italian Baroque. Whoever has reached for recordings of Provenzale or Salvatore knows that this evening will be engraved in the memory for a long time.


12 April

Francesco Nicolò Fago – Il Faraone Sommerso

Marianne Beate Kielland – kontralt
Roberta Invernizzi – soprano
Emanuele d'Aguanno – tenor
Havard Stensvold – bass

Europa Galante
Fabio Biondi – conductor

Easter Sunday
12 April 2009, 8.00 pm
Krakow Philharmonic, Zwierzyniecka 1 str.

Who’s heard of Fago? Then again, who heard of Fabio Biondi before he brought his oratorio to Kraków? No one. And so we face a great unknown. A freshly reconstructed score. The first concert tour. Biondi’s choices are sure-fire hits; no doubt they will be spot on again.

Giovanni Antonini – conductor

Easter Monday
13 April 2009, 8.00 pm
Krakow Philharmonic, Zwierzyniecka 1 str.

The series of the ‘Red Priest’s’ motets draws to an end, but there’s still timevfor another one – the finest arias from his oratorios and operas along with a handful of concerts. We start with the absolute premiere – the sparring between Sonia Prina and Giovanni Antonini’s ensemble. A joyful finale for a joyful day.

Voi reveni cu secvenţe muzicale pentru cele de mai sus de îndată ce mă voi organiza puţin.
