SUMMARY:La edad luminosa
DESCRIPTION:ADDA SIMFÒNICA ALICANTE\nKLAUS MERTENS\, bass-baritone\nTON KOOPMAN\, conductor \nJohann Sebastian Bach\, Suite Orquestal núm. 4\nJohann Sebastian Bach\, Cantata ‘Ich habe genug‘\nFranz Schubert / arr. Max Reger\, ‘Erlkönig’ y otras canciones\nJoseph Haydn\, Sinfonía núm. 100 ‘Military’ \nSALE OF SINGLE TICKETS: From July 30\, 2026. \n\nKLAUS MERTENS. Bass – Baritone \n“An excellent master of his craft” (M. Harras): for four decades\, bass-baritone Klaus Mertens has been celebrated by critics both in concert and across his more than 200 CD recordings. His interpretations\, spanning from early music to the avant-garde\, have been described as “supernaturally radiant”\, “wonderfully slender\, clearly declamatory” and “unchangeably fresh and immensely homogeneous”. \nThe possibilities of his voice and the awareness of always being a “medium” in the creative act of an authentic interpretation make him one of the outstanding interpreters in his field: expressive\, but always within a “juste milieu”. Early music occupies a fundamental place in his artistic career\, and for this reason he has been praised for his “naturally baroque rhetoric” in repertoires and styles of different national traditions. \nOne of the most singular milestones of his career is undoubtedly the complete CD recording of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach\, as well as his performance of them around the world. It is a unique case in recording history that a single singer has taken on all the parts of his voice type in a complete recording of this magnitude. The same can be said of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude\, concluded shortly afterwards. Both productions were made together with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir under the direction of Ton Koopman. \nThe artistic relationship between Ton Koopman\, Tini Mathot —producer of these recordings— and Klaus Mertens extends across decades\, united by close musical and human complicity. In addition to his collaboration with Koopman\, Mertens has worked with almost all the great conductors specialising in early music\, as well as with numerous conductors of modern orchestras throughout the world\, and is a regular guest at prominent international festivals. \nIn his recording and concert projects\, accompanied by research work\, his main aim is to bring valuable unpublished or lost works back to life. At the same time\, he has always devoted himself passionately to repertoires ranging from the Renaissance to Classicism\, Romanticism and contemporary creation\, including works written for him. Lied also occupies an essential place in his activity\, from songs with lute to string quartet and chamber ensemble. He also enjoys new experimental forms of performance and increasingly takes on narrator roles. In recognition of his work he received the Georg Philipp Telemann Prize in 2016 and the Leipzig Bach Medal in 2019. \n\nTON KOOPMAN. Conductor \nTon Koopman was born in Zwolle (The Netherlands) and\, after a classical education\, studied organ\, harpsichord and musicology in Amsterdam\, where he obtained the Prix d’Excellence on both instruments. From the beginning of his studies he was fascinated by authentic instruments and by an interpretation based on sonic scholarship\, and at the age of 25 he created his first baroque orchestra. In 1979 he founded the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and in 1992 the Amsterdam Baroque Choir. \nKoopman has appeared in the main halls and festivals of the five continents. As an organist he has played prestigious historical instruments in Europe and\, as harpsichordist and director of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir\, he has been a regular guest at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam\, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris\, the Musikverein and Konzerthaus in Vienna\, the Berlin Philharmonie\, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York\, Suntory Hall in Tokyo\, as well as in London\, Brussels\, Madrid\, Rome\, Salzburg\, Copenhagen\, Lisbon\, Munich and Athens. \nVery active as a guest conductor\, he has worked with orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam\, the Berlin Philharmonic\, the Munich BR Orchestra\, the DSO Berlin\, the Tonhalle Zurich\, the Philharmonique de Radio France in Paris\, the Vienna Symphony\, the Boston Symphony\, the Chicago Symphony\, the New York Philharmonic\, the San Francisco Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra\, of which he is Artist in Residence. \nHis extensive activity as soloist\, accompanist and conductor has been recorded by Erato\, Teldec\, Sony\, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon. In 2002 he created his own label\, Antoine Marchand\, distributed by Challenge Records. \nBetween 1994 and 2004 he conducted and recorded all the extant cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach\, an undertaking for which he received the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis Echo Klassik\, the BBC award and the Prix Hector Berlioz\, in addition to Grammy and Gramophone nominations. More recently he undertook the recording of the complete works of Dietrich Buxtehude\, of which 16 volumes have been published. \nKoopman publishes regularly\, has taken part in the complete edition of Handel’s organ concertos and has edited Handel’s Messiah and Buxtehude’s Das Jüngste Gericht. He directs the harpsichord class at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague\, is a professor at Leiden University\, an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in London and artistic director of the French festival Itinéraire Baroque.
