MEZZO

Macbeth, by Giuseppe Verdi Simon Keenlyside (Macbeth), Raymond Aceto (Banquo), Liudmyla Monastryrska (Lady Macbeth), Nigel Cliffe (Servant), Steven Ebel (Malcolm), Elisabeth Meister (Lady), Dmitri Pittas (Macduff) Royal Opera Chorus, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Antonio Pappano (Conductor) Phyllida Lloyd (Stage Director) Black, red, cream and gold are the colours that define Phyllida Lloyd's Royal Opera House staging of Verdi's robust, yet penetrating setting of Shakespeare's Scottish play. Manipulated by a whole coven of cunning, scarlet-turbanned witches, the characters often evoke figures in a splendid Gothic fresco. With Simon Keenlyside making his British debut, as an athletic, brooding Macbeth and Liudmyla Monastyrska as his Lady, both imperious and subtle, this performance, masterfully conducted by Antonio Pappano, goes far beyond mere sound and fury. TV Director, Sue Judd Recorded live at The Royal Opera House, 13 June, 2011

The Monster in the Maze, by Jonathan Dove Libretto by Alasdair Middleton, French adaptation by Alain Perroux First premiere of the French version Opera for all ages from 6 years old London Symphony Orchestra and Mediterranean Youth Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor) Chorus, Amateur choristers (children, teenagers and adults), Simon Halsey (Chorus Master) Stage direction (semi-staged version), Marie-Ève Signeyrole Stage design, Fabien Teigné Light, Philippe Berthomé Damien Bigourdan (Theseus) Lucie Roche (Theseus' mother) Damien Pass (Dedalus) Miloud Khétib (Minos) The King of Crete has defeated Greece. He imposes a terrible tribute on the vanquished population: each year the city of Athens has to send young men who will be thrown into Dedalus's labyrinth and eventually be devoured by the beast locked up in it, the notorious minotaur, half-man, half-bull. Appropriating this epic drama, British composer Jonathan Dove has written an opera for the young and the old, interpreted by a handful of soloists, a youth orchestra that will be trained with the help of the London Symphony Orchestra musicians, and 300 amateur choristers from the region of Aix, including children, teenagers and adults. Conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, all embark on an adventure which promises to breathe much life and spirit into this great mythological saga. A pedagogical project par excellence, this performance will be the culmination of a series of workshops for amateur choristers, organised throughout the year by the Festival's Passerelles department. Recorded on July 8th and 9th 2015 at the Grand Théâtre de Provence, Festiva d'Aix-en-Provence TV Director, Isabelle Soulard

MELANIE DE BIASIO This Belgian siren turned the jazz world upside down with her breathtaking album, No Deal. Singer-flautist Mélanie De Biasio summons the suspended pop style of Talk Talk, the erudite blues of Nina Simone, the eminent lyricism of Jeff Buckley and the ambience of Portishead and Pink Floyd, all of it pierced by majestic moments of silence. Her deep, shaded voice seems to have come from Elsewhere, casting an ethereal spell that has earned her the nickname 'the Belgian Billie Holiday.' Magic!

It's a strange combination of influences superbly blended on the album Room, at the crossroads of free jazz and blues. Unexpected and intoxicating!

QVENILD PERSONAL PIANO @ Oslo Jazz Festival 2016 Morten Qvenild, a member of In The Country, who also accompanies Susanna Wallumrød in Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, presents a very personal kind of music. Qvenild drifts away from jazz standards, presenting works performed on his 'HyPer(sonal) Piano', a keyboard augmented with electronics. The Norwegian musician's compositions are varied, and may include his own vocals. He sometimes reduces the accompaniment to a bare minimum, a few melodic touches to support the melancholy of his timbre (Wild Horses). He feels at liberty, for example, to break the continuity of a piece like Kick And Glide, speeding up the tempo and calling on programs to give his piano a psychedelic and futuristic touch - in the company of a distorted guitar - taking us far away from traditional jazz.

JAGA JAZZIST Emerging from the Oslo underground scene, this Ninja Tune instrumental electro-jazz collective finally returns after their explosive Festival performance in 2011. Considered trailblazers of the Scandinavian nu-jazz movement and hailed unanimously by the trade press, these debonair Norwegians still enjoy blending their eclectic and hypnotic sounds and creating complex digressions as they soar off in search of mutated, experimental musical worlds. It's a complex yet perfect marriage between man, technology and music.
