Info zu Shakespeare Songs

Er gilt als größter Dramatiker der europäischen Geschichte, aber er inspirierte nicht nur Theaterleute, sondern auch viele Komponisten: William Shakespeare, der vor 400 Jahren starb. Mehr als alle anderen Autoren seiner Zeit streute er eine Unmenge von Liedern in seine Dramen ein - Vorlage für Vertonungen schon im Elisabethanischen Zeitalter und bis hin zur Moderne. Der Tenor Ian Bostridge lädt mit seinem neuen Album zu einer Zeitreise ein, begleitet von Antonio Pappano am Klavier und der Lautenistin Elizabeth Kenny.

Als gebürtiger Londoner ist Bostridge in Shakespeares Welt ohnehin zu Hause, aber auch in seiner musikalischen Karriere spielten die Stoffe des großen Dichters bereits eine große Rolle: »Benjamin Brittens Sommernachtstraum und The Tempest von Thomas Adès waren Meilensteine für mich als Sänger.« Die Zeitreise des Albums beginnt bei den Shakespeare-Zeitgenossen Thomas Morley, William Byrd, John Wilson und Robert Johnson. Nach der Wiederentdeckung Shakespeares durch die deutschen Dichter der Frühklassik finden wir Vertonungen im Werk von Joseph Haydn und schließlich im Repertoire der Romantik und der Klassischen Moderne – unter anderem mit Schubert, Korngold, Britten, Tippett bis hin zu Igor Strawinsky. Knapp dreißig der unzähligen Shakespeare-Liedvertonungen sind hier versammelt – eine weitere Großtat der seit ihrem Britten-Album ECHO-gekrönten künstlerischen Partnerschaft Bostridge-Pappano.
