Henry Purcell: King Arthur
Opname 31 augustus 2015 tijdens Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht in TivoliVredenburg / recorded the 31th of August 2015, during Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht.
La Fenice & Vox Luminis
Nikolaus Harnoncourt omschreef Purcells semi-opera King Arthur, or the British Worthy (1691) als ‘de eerste musical in de geschiedenis’ en dat is niet zo gek gedacht. Het patriottistische libretto van John Dryden gaat niet over de Arthur-sagen zoals wij ze kennen, maar schildert de woeste strijd tussen de Britten van koning Arthur en de Saksen, vaak met humoristische ondertoon. Purcells muziek erbij is briljant: levendig, vol met vrolijke dansmuziek en prachtige aria’s als Fairest Isle. Tovenaars, ridders, sirenen en elfen: dit bonte spektakel staat in de bekwame handen van La Fenice (dat dit jaar 25 jaar bestaat) en artist in residence Vox Luminis garant voor een niet te missen concertavond.

What a spectacular performance. How lively. Thank you very much.
it is encouraging and comforting to see that in this decadent world there are still (thank God) so many (young!!) people who appreciate the things of eternal quality

But is this enough? I wonder :/ Seems like a small bastion of light being overwhelmed by cold and dark stupidity and primal instincts.

Well I'm decadent and perform baroque. Why not both? Life is short, get the most out of it and don't judge others for trying as long as they're not hurting anyone else.
What a moment of my time ! 🎶✨🎶
J'aurais aimé mettre 1.000.000 de "j'aime".
C'est le summum de la musique joyeuse, triomphante, exubérante et pourtant majestueuse. J'aime.
I regret that I cannot put one million like. It is a summit of baroccous music, joyous, triumphant, full of majesty.
I love without measure.
Bravissimo to Purcell, Jean Tubéry, the orchestra and the choir.
Absolutely spectacular. For those of us who have found a lifelong joy & inspiration in Purcell's genius, this is a near-incomparable performance of his early opera. Not only do we hear the unique sound of (some) authentic instruments, the thoroughly modern singers somehow manage to convey a similar "authentic" sound in their voices, perfectly integrated. Interesting, too (per Mr. Elgersma's note) that he, countertenor, is listed as "alto;" just as Purcell seems to have called himself. Evan the videography, unknown as it was to Purcell & his audience, seems perfectly expressive & "authentic," giving deserved focus on these superb players. Thanks to all.
It is now very interesting to hold this "recording" against the more recent one with Paul Paul McCreesh and Gabrieli, also stunningn and now CD of the Year (2020) of the BBC Music Magazin.
Each of the two has particular merits !
@@stefanspeyer8126 Thanks, Stefan - I shall have to go have a listen. Wonderful to have abundance of such performances. Civilization is not dead!
You are right, astonishingly enoug, civilization goes on, by means of Henry Purcell, Antonio Caldara and Claudio Monteverdi, and some others. It helps to requalify some of the ongoing. Monetverdi's son died of plague, but he continued to compose.
@@stefanspeyer8126 We hope our current plague proves to be less severe. And, 'some others:' Giovanni Palestrina, Orlando di Lasso... Humbling to think one may have sung a few measures of these artists in boyhood choirs. All these fine new performances sustain & ennoble our species.
I went to buy Paul McCreesh, very fine, as the shops here start to re-open. Impressing ! Very good singers. I hope that on the other side of the Atlantic (Gloucester ?) you can also buy some CDs. I listen to the English Group, which will soon sustain Brexit. But the recording exists !
My favorite performance of Henry Purcell's King Arthur. Please, Maestros Jean Tubéry & Lionel Meunier, put this on a Blu-Ray with lossless surround sound! -- I have heard many good performances of this piece, including recordings by Christie, Gardiner and Harnoncourt, and your performance captivates me like no other. Bravo!
Out on CD this friday! From label Alpha-Classics :-)
Amazing performance and music!
A tökéletes zenei előadás, minden agyafúrt "performance"-nál nagyobb hatású. Az, és csak az jelenítheti meg ennek a zenének minden szépségét: örömet és vidámságot. Ez az előadás olyan együttes-zene, amit hallgatva és a képeket látva örömet, vidámságot érzek. Éljen! - Köszönöm.
Absolutely fantastic performance by all. Thank you for posting. But the duo performance of CUPID & COLD GENIUS around 42:50 is a pure joy, I mean, pure Love blessing. Sophie Junker is fantastic and this piece is made for her - this would make Purcell very happy indeed. I can't stop watching it... It has been hours... I thing I need help ;)))
Wunderbar lebendig! Ich habe das Stück in Hannover/Herrenhausen Festival inszeniert. Alles von Musical bis Drama ist darin enthalten. Mit mir war ich nicht ganz zufrieden damals - mit dem wunderbaren Werk immer. Danke für diese Aufführung, die ich leider erst jetzt entdeckt habe.
I very much appreciated and enjoyed this fluent, and respectful, performance.
Fantastic performance! Thank you to all the performers, and thank you to AVRO to share this with the rest of the world. It will inspire and guide all young musicians, also here in the Philippines.

Glorious performance. Only just discovered it and thrilled to have done so. Matchless singing and a true understanding of this once neglected masterpiece. I still have my 1950s recording directed by Thurston Dart, which is delightful and fresh,featuring such great singers from the past : Wilfred Brown and Hervey allen.
Beaux jeux des voix, instruments, bel équilibre, belles harmonies. Bravo à tous.
Very clear and articulate performance of this semi-opera with beautiful voices of all the soloists and well-controlled sound of the compact orchestra.
Excellent performance !! It was a pleasure for me to hear and see it !!
i used to listen to a caset tape of the whole concert during my high school math prep.. memorized it..20 years ago :) ... love from Kuwait

+David Van Bouwel A big thank you for the performance of the ensemble. It was great although you personally were built in by the organ and hpschd I have not seen you for one second. Some tempi were extremely high but we enjoyed the performance immensely. So nice to review it once more from different angles.
David Van Bouwel r
super!
Thank you, David !!!!
David, congratulations on your amazing performance !!!!
Another Masterpiece by Henry Purcell and such an outstanding rendition indeed, I enjoyed it enormously. Bravo to Vox Luminis and to the Ensemble La Fenice !!!! Thank you so very much, AVROTROS Klassiek
Fantastic performance I have to say again after 2 years since I saw it first and posted.
The duo performance of CUPID & COLD GENIUS around 41:04 is a pure joy, I mean, pure Love blessing. Followed by the chorus ending of 'Tis Love, 'tis Love, 'tis Love that has warm'd us. In spite of the weather He brought us together.'Tis Love, 'tis Love, 'tis Love that has warm'd us.' Blessing!

well done thanks
gemstone212121 Qa
Thank you so very much gemstone 212121 !!!!
At 32:20 a wonderful rendering of the famous "Cold Genius" aria. Brilliant performance all around.
Love king Arthur legend , Purcell and England land.
Sublime-thank you all.
Thank you for this lovely music, and for the adding the titles!
so many mistakes and imperfections, yet so many charming passages. it is inspiring to see amateurs being accepted among masters...sometimes even within one single individual.
Yes sometimes the pace is too much too swift. Sometimes the articulation of the instruments lacks clearness, but very enthousiastic.
I know you only posted this to show the world...oh, he knows some Music. But,...who cares, you twat
A fabulous performance. Thank you.
Great playing and the singing is excellent especially the strong and true male voices sometimes lacking in English choirs.
'No part of my dominion shall he waste:
To spread my sway and sing my praise
E'en here I will a people raise
Of kind embracing lovers, and embrac'd.' from Act III, the Soprano sang brilliantly !!!!!
I'm English, but the French do it best! I love the enthusiasm as well as the professionalism of M. Tubery and his group. Purcell comes to life with them; not a trace of stodge here. Wish they'd make more recordings of this composer.
In many ways Purcell's music was made for French performance techniques. He drew influence from various sources, English folk music, English church music, and most pertinent to this discussion, the French style of the age.
Out on CD this friday on label "Alpha-classics"
Yes; remember that the French had many composers of the time writing semi-operas like this, Marais, Lully and especially Rameau, whilst the English had the single towering genius of Henry Purcell who, dying young, caused a national musical calamity.
Vox Luminis est Belge, pas Français !
Henry Purcell For Ever!
Just gorgeous.
Merci Mr Tubery pour votre joie communicative : )
Mooiste muziek, ooit, zeer boeiend.
wonderful thank you and henry for this post jve
Stunning recording !
Superb.
Quand tout a été goûté, doux ou aigre doux, que reste t'il ? La belle, la très belle musique, et le plaisir
de voir la finesse des interprètes!
In the middle of Covid-19 restrictions, I have enjoyed this performance, thank you I love Purcell!
This is fabulous! Thank you. I will visit the Utrecht Festival one day!
Jean Tubéry ... BRAVO MAESTRO, BRAVO TUTTI ...

Jusqu'à maintenant, j'avais entendu plusieurs bonnes versions de Cold Song. Mais je ne connaissais pas King Arthur. Merci.
Lovely!
Espectacular!
Wonderful!
Excellent!
who says ROCK started in the 60's ??
it had begun as early as in 1600's ❤
Outstanding
Buitengewoon mooi!
Fantastic!!
Utrecht é, sem dúvida nenhuma, o maior centro difusor de música erudita de todas as épocas, e Avrotros prestigia essa condição no mais alto nível.
wunderbare Musik, wonderful music, un plaisir de l'esprit;... Oper Unter den Linden présente actuellemnt l'oeuvre avec Alte Musik Berlin sous la baguette de René Jacobs , à voir
prachtig!
Fabulosa execução do Vox Luminis/La Fenice interpretando "Rei Arthur" de Purcell com instrumentos de época. É pena que não tenha nenhum subtítulo. Gostaria que alguém fizesse um "upload" da obra "Utrecht Te Deum" do grande Georg Fridrich Handel. Ficarei aguardando.
this performance lets

Habe es heute entdeckt. Großartig. 😊
Delightful and stylish!

Dank-U-Wel
HENRY PURCELL
{ LONDRES 1659~1695 LONDRES }
« VOX LUMINIS / LA FENICE ~ HENRY PURCELL ~ KING ARTHUR {Z.628} {1691} «
Que c’est beau, quelle moment de musique vocale et instrumentale, de cette œuvre de HENRY PURCELL, avec ses deux ensembles VOX LUMINIS /LA FENICE grandiose, que d’émotions bravo. VOX LUMINIS a vue le jour il a 16 ans, aujourd’hui l’ensemble enlumine le monde de la musique ancienne de trait étincelant, LIONEL MEUNIER né en mai 1981 est musicien et chanteur, fondateur de VOX LUMINIS, ensemble vocal de musique ancienne {2004}. Passionné de musique depuis le plus jeune âge, son éducation musicale débute dans sa ville natale de Clamacy France, avec le solfège, la flûte à bec et la trompette. L’ensemble LA FENICE est un ensemble de musique Baroque créé en 1990 par JEAN TUBÉRY, qui se consacre au répertoire de musique s’étendant du début du XVIe siècle au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. Que ce soit avec la FENICE ou avec le chœur de chambre de NAMUR, JEAN TUBÉRY sait donner à l’orchestre, au voix et à son instrument de prédilection le cornet à bouquin des couleurs chatoyantes et une luminosité délicate, semblable aux brocards et soieries précieuses de la peinture Baroque bravo à tous. JOHN DRYDEN {1631~1700}, le poète qui a écrit la pièce « KING ARTHUR {1691} s’est librement inspiré de la légende des Chevaliers de la Table ronde. Mais aucune, mis a par DIDON et ENÉE {1689}, n’a l’envergure de « KING ARTHUR «. Semi-opéra en cinq actes. Il fut donné pour la première fois en mai ou juin 1691 au THEATRE, DORSET GARDEN de Londres. En 1691 PURCELL a 32 ans, et ses premières musiques pour le théâtre remonte à 1680 c’est dire. Il en a déjà une bonne douzaine à son actif, certaines consistent en quelques numéros seulement, quelques chants et danses, d’autres beaucoup plus nourries, comme son opéra DIDON et ENÉE. C’est probablement THOMAS BETTERTON {vers 1635~1710} le directeur de la troupe qui a mis en contact PURCELL et DRYDEN. Le dramaturge a décidé de tester d’abord le musicien, en lui demandant la musique de scène d’une pièce qu’il a librement adaptée de MOLIÈRE {1622~1673}, AMPHYTRION {1668}. Puis, satisfait du résultat, il lui confie une pièce de plus grande envergure, KING ARTHUR OR THE BRITISH WORTHY « LE ROI ARTHUR ou le PREUX BRITANNIQUE. PURCELL avait un talent extraordinaire pour composer les musiques les plus diverses, mais c’est sa musique vocale qui fut la plus appréciée, car il avait un génie tout particulier pour exprimer la force des mots anglais, et par la même, soulever les passions et s’attirer l’admiration de tous ses auditeurs. Merci pour ce chef-d’œuvre, de ce compositeur de génie HENRY PURCELL, et ce moment d’art lyrique, avec ses deux ensembles VOX LUMINIS de LIONEL MEUNIER et la FENICE de JEAN TUBÉRY qui sont exceptionnelles, au Festival OUDEMUZIEK UTRECHT, que j’ai énormément aimé bravo.
I would love to seeing the real opera.
Natürlich, ganz gut!! Ich habe alles genoßen!
Absolut beautiful performance. Is there of a cd available?
It's coming this friday on label Alpha-classics :-)
BRAVO for Caroline Weynants!!!!!!!
L'Ensemble Vox Luminis sera à Spa, Belgique, dans le cadre du festival de l'automne Musical 2018 le 25/11 à 18 heures. Pour infos www.automnemusical.com
love this ,proud to be english.
Their English accent, even when speaking, is very convincing. Actually, I have a doubt, where are they from?
+Lloyd Daniel They are from Belgium
I'd expect Tomas Kral to be Polish or Czech, Zsuzsi Tóth Hungarian and Robert Buckland British... and, on this evidence, Helen Cassano too.
OH LES BEAUX AGN
(41:04) Duet: Sound a parley, ye fair, and surrender
Excellent playing, good interpretation and a good understanding of Purcell's idiom. This is not often the case with French groups, though I note that few of the musicians are French!
I love the 27:03 song.
Don't think much of the version of The Cold Song here. Not a patch on Andreas Scholl and Klaus Nomi.
+Oolong Oolong Music is not all a big competition
For Love ev'ry Creature : 54:32
Very interest for type of beer?
