Recording of the Week, Beethoven songs and folksongs from Ian Bostridge and Antonio Pappano

24th July 2020

The tenor and pianist are joined by violinist Vilde Frang and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt for selections from the Scottish and Irish folk-songs, following an exquisitely tender account of An die ferne Geliebte.

At the heart of this programme of Beethoven songs performed by Ian Bostridge and Sir Antonio Pappano is the song cycle 'An die ferne Geliebte' (to the distant beloved). Bostridge describes it as 'the distillation of Beethoven as a lover'. Among the other items are the rapturously lyrical 'Adelaide', the sombre 'In questa tomba oscura' and a selection of Beethoven's settings of folksongs from the British Isles, which elicit the participation of violinist Vilde Frang and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt. 'When we all play together,' says Pappano, 'it's like a family making music at home.'

Reviews

July 2020

[In The Song of the Flea] Pappano invests the fidgety piano part with piquant playfulness whilst allowing Bostridge to flex his comedic muscles to the full…[In An die ferne Geliebte] Bostridge’s warm lyricism casts an enveloping spell – though some of his expressive traits can be a touch predictable, their range circumscribed if affecting.

August 2020

This newcomer fus[es] Bostridge’s detailed, borderline fussy manner with Pappano’s sprightly playing, buoyant and delicate. One misses limpidness in Bostridge’s tone, admittedly, but he makes the songs his own in a performance that is never less than engaging and, as usual, conveys an unflinching and persuasive belief in the material.

24th July 2020

There’s a special alchemy at work in Bostridge's partnership with Pappano, and the opening account of An die ferne Geliebte is a fine example of how these two very different artistic temperaments complement one another...Frang and Altstaedt fiddle up a storm in the ebullient ‘The Pulse of an Irishman’ and ‘Come draw we round a cheerful ring’, with plenty of grit and pitch-bending banishing any hint of the polite ambience of the concert-hall.

26th July 2020

With a more than 30-year career behind him, [Bostridge] still sounds distinctive and youthful in Beethoven’s setting of [Adelaide]...He balances a mature account of the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte with a delightful selection of his late Irish, Scottish and Welsh folk songs, with deluxe instrumental contributions from Frang, Altstaedt and Pappano, revelling in Celtic wit more flamboyantly than Bostridge.

24th July 2020

For much of the time the sheer variety of Bostridge’s selections and quivering displays of feeling amply reward the listener. When he sings of inner pain in the pioneering song cycle An die ferne Geliebte, you feel it in the solar plexus...At the flick of a switch, as the songs demand, he’s bouncily comic (The Song of the Flea) or walled up in a tomb, persuasively navigating these pocket masterpieces.
