CLB Management's 2019 Christmas Highlights: Projects

We at CLB would like to share some of our artists’ Autumn highlights of 2019, continuing with the Projects!

Les Talens Lyriques enjoyed a busy Autumn performing in some of the most prestigious European halls.

In November, they performed at the Wiener Staatsoper for a series of concerts presenting Händel’s opera Ariodante, and brought Lully’s opera Isis across France, receiving rave reviews for both projects.

Next week, on December 17, the ensemble make a return appearance at the renowned Wigmore Hall in London with a Christmas programme, Noël royal.

Exciting projects await Les Talens Lyriques in the New Year, starting with Händel’s opera Saul at the Théâtre du Châtelet.

In November, GRB Concerts presented a new concert programme Elton John – 50 Years of Your Song at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, celebrating half a century of Elton John’s iconic music with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Next Spring 2020, GRB Concerts will bring their new programme across the UK, in concerts with the Royal Northern Sinfonia (March 28, 2020), the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (April 3, 2020), and the Hallé (April 18, 2020).

Jordi Savall released two CDs with Alia Vox this Autumn: W. A. Mozart - Le Testament Symphonique featuring the composer’s last symphonies, Nos. 39, 40, and 41, and George Friederich Handel’s Messiah.

October saw the second instalment of Savall’s Beethoven project, in which he conducts all nine of the composer’s symphonies with his ensemble Le Concert des Nations across the 2019/20 season. In this instalment, the ensemble performed Symphonies Nos. 3 & 5 at venues including the Philharmonie de Paris, L’Auditori in Barcelona, and at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan.

The project continues in June 2020 as Savall and Le Concert des Nations look forward to presenting Symphonies Nos. 6 & 7 in Paris, Brussels, and Barcelona, among others.

This Autumn, in collaboration with Naïve, Concerto Italiano & Rinaldo Alessandrini released Johann Bach: Ouvertures for Orchestra, interpreting the complete overtures of Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as those of his well-respected contemporaries and second cousins, Johann Bernhard and Johann Ludwig Bach.

Prior to this, Rinaldo released a solo disc, Louis Couperin: Suites, in which he creates several ‘suites de danse’ from the magnificent output of Louis Couperin.
