Andreas Scholl
diary of a superstar		 0

Guest soloist, countertenor Andreas Scholl (Germany)

"Scholl's voice rushes through the bloodstream, so tender and gravely beautiful that time seems to stand still."
The Times

Andreas Scholl is an international superstar, selling out every concert he performs. Now the world's greatest countertenor returns to the Brandenburg for this unforgettable program.

Be caressed by the voice of the masterful Scholl as he brings to life the diary of Senesino � the world's greatest castrati, more famous in his day than Farinelli.

Senesino's divine voice had audiences swooning and inspired Handel to write twenty operatic roles. Only a legend could do justice to his music, and in the modern era that legend is Andreas Scholl. As Scholl's voice reveals the soul of Senesino, the Brandenburg's own Alan Maddox will narrate the story of this great man, delving deep into his diary.

You'll also see the world premiere live performance of Marco Rosano's Stabat Mater � a mesmerising work written especially for Scholl and his hauntingly beautiful voice.

Throughout the program the Orchestra will unleash its own dynamic voice with works by Brescianello and Heinichen, full of melodic elegance and rhythmic vitality. The Brandenburg also continues its series of Handel's Concerti grossi, Opus 6, hailed as masterpieces of the late Baroque.
