Schedule

Aldeburgh Music, Aldeburgh

Programme

Sunday 11 August 2013 - Sunday 18 August 2013
Masterclass: Schubert Lieder

Christoph Prégardien tenor • Malcolm Martineau piano
Richard Stokes texts

Die schöne Müllerin and other songs of 1823-6

Britten and Pears were internationally renowned for their insightful duo performances of Schubert lieder, many of which were given here at the Aldeburgh Festival. Inheriting that mantle, Christoph Prégardien and Malcolm Martineau bring unrivalled depth of experience to this repertoire. In this intensive class we explore the extraordinary period between 1823-6 which included the first of Schubert’s great song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and songs like Die junge Nonne. Established lieder duos in all voices should apply – we may also be able to accept applications from individual singers and pianists.

Lieder for the turn of a century

Champs Hill Records

Accompanied with panache by Malcolm Martineau...a judicious mix of not-too-brash bravado and playful sensuality makes this performance just the ticket.

Richard Fairman, Gramophone, March 2013

Virgins, Vixens and Viragos

Onyx

Abetted by Malcolm Martineau's richly coloured playing...Graham and Martineau catch the sensuality of the opening song without traducing the composer's request for simplicity, and perfectly judge the mix of aristocratic refinement and Monmartre cabaret languor in 'Violin'. 'Il vole' (the fiendish keyboard part brilliantly despatched by Martineau)...

Richard Wigmore, Gramophone, March 2013

Hyperion Recording
Soprano Sylvia Schwartz's reputation as a rising star is confirmed by her Hyperion debut album, a programme of songs from her native Spain, finely accompanied by Malcolm Martineau. Tim Ashley, The Guardian, 7th February 2013

The mixture is perfect for this programme of Spanish songs, some barely a minute long, all beautifully characterised by the soprano and her accompanist Malcolm Martineau. 

Anna Picard, The Independent, 3rd March 2013
Schwartz shows a wonderful voice, warm responsiveness to the texts and perfectly idiomatic Spanish...Martineau is, as ever, the perfect collaborator Classical Music Magazine, April 2013
