Early Music in the Evening Concert

[Resurrection Man]

......
Well, we know the result. Davies’s voice has matured amazingly, and he is still only 32 according to Petroc who was presenting the programme. I think we can expect many a great performances from him, and I do hope Radio3 will not miss any opportunities for broadcasting or recording his performances. And I hope we’ll hear JCS and his wonderful ensemble more often on R3.

I agree wholeheartedly with that. I believe that there was mention of some more appearances by ID.

EDIT: Ah yes, tomorrow at the Wigmore Hall. Let's hope it's recorded. Iestyn Davies countertenor; Mark Padmore tenor; Marcus Farnsworth baritone; Richard Watkins horn; Lucy Wakeford harp; Julius Drake piano

I think that Petroc said that he's 'in residence' at the Wigmore, & his calendar (http://www.iestyndavies.com/calendar.html) confirms it. The next residency recital (recital no. 2) is on the 27th Feb next year ("Music of the restoration" - Works by Purcell, Blow, Humfrey and Croft; Academy of Ancient Music, Richard Egarr), & the next one on the 25th JUne (Lute songs, Thomas Dunford, lute)

(I'm not sure what a 'residency' means when it's spread over such a period of time. When an artist has a residency it usually means that they spend a period - a month or longer - in a particular location, produce a body of work usually related to the location, or a departure from their usual work, & have an exhibition and/or an open studio at the end. The point of it is that it's a concentrated period of time away from their normal environment. ID's 'residency recitals' don't seem to be any different from his usual recitals - is he conducting masterclasses or other activities as well?)

It would appear that in this case the Wigmore Hall Residency does involve some outreach

Though the Iestyn Davies Syndicate does sound a bit shady...


...the Welsh mafia perhaps?

Oh, I dunno; sounds more like a 1960s R&B band to me.

I did think it sounded like a potential band name as well.
