Leçons de Ténèbres
Leçons
de Ténèbres
François Couperin
Pièces de viole Marin Marais
Pièces de clavecin Jean-Henry D’Anglebert
Rowena Simpson soprano
Barbara Graham soprano
Polly Sussex viol
Martin Ryman chamber organ / harpsichord
"A
concert for the Easter season, this different and interesting presentation
concentrated on music of the Catholic liturgy by François Couperin and other
composers of the French Baroque."
"Soprano Rowena Simpson with her training in baroque performance practice was vocally ideal, her voice clear and pure with excellent enunciation of the ecclesiastical French Latin pronunciation. Her clean “white” voice, ethereal, but still with expression and nuance, was lovely to hear."
"Singing the vocal line for the second verse was operatic-trained soprano Barbara Graham who brought a different character with more vibrato, ... but the effect was still exquisite."
"Clearly there had been meticulous scholarship and preparation for the concert."
"With the lighting dimming and progressing to candlelight the atmosphere and mood of the concert was pensive, understandably sombre, ... but it was an impressive and adventurous undertaking."

Coffee & Controversy
Coffee Cantata by J S Bach & baroque concerts by Vivaldi, Handel and Hellendaal
"A happy occasion, brought about by skilled performances and innovative presentation of some extremely felicitous music – the reception given to the performers, both singers and instrumentalists, bore out the evening’s enjoyment and pleasure."
