Ryedale Festival 2016
Introduction
from the Artistic Director
Great music, outstanding performers, beautiful
venues, scenic countryside, a unique and friendly
atmosphere: welcome to the 2016 Ryedale Festival!
The late music of Beethoven takes centre stage,
including all of his late string quartets. These
extraordinary masterpieces are heard alongside the
poems they inspired T.S. Eliot to write over one
hundred years later. His Four Quartets also introduce
a festival theme of ‘time’ that is reflected in works
such as Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time,
Haydn’s Clock Symphony, Handel’s Alcina, Jonathan
Dove’s The Passing of the Year, Vaughan Williams’s
On Wenlock Edge, and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. There are other threads to follow through the
festival too. Sir James MacMillan is Composer in
Residence and there are many opportunities to
discover his music, which fuses influences including
his Scottish heritage and Catholic faith into a
language that is both accessible and deeply expressive.
The festival also marks the 400th anniversary of the
death of Shakespeare with a series of festival events
celebrating his legacy – including one recreating the
sights and sounds of an Elizabethan tavern!

Friday 15 th July
The music of Bach is heard by candlelight in a
series of late-night concerts; the festival also breaks
new ground with six world premieres and a UK
premiere. The sights of the festival are as varied as
its sounds, with events including a Triple Concert at
Castle Howard, two Double Concerts at Sledmere,
and a series of Coffee Concerts bringing music to the
many beautiful country churches of the area. Away
from the music, a series of literary events Ways with
Words celebrates the work of five outstanding
women writers.
Among many brilliant individual performers and
ensembles, the Heath Quartet are in residence and
the festival’s Associate Ensemble, Royal Northern
Sinfonia, offer two unmissable orchestral
programmes. Vocal highlights include performances
by Tenebrae, Voces8 and the Marian Consort, and
a new English version of Schubert’s greatest song
cycle. Not many artists bring period instruments to
life more vividly than Rachel Podger, Kristian
Bezuidenhout and La Serenissima. On a lighter
note, look out for the brilliant brass ensemble
opening the festival, a terrific saxophone quartet and
the irresistible exuberance of The Alehouse Boys.
Young performers play a special part in the
festival. A new production of Handel’s great fantasyopera Alcina brings together a cast of outstanding
young singers with the players of the Orchestra of
the Age of Enlightenment’s Experience scheme. A
series of workshops gives local musicians the chance
to work with world-class visiting performers, while
the Ryedale500 scheme offers tickets to help more
young people explore the festival.
To the many loyal audience members who return
year after year, thank you for your continued
support and generosity; to those who will visit for
the first time, I hope you enjoy the festival’s special
magic. I look forward to seeing you all there.

The acclaimed brass ensemble Septura possesses the
varied repertoire (and its members perhaps the
relevant personal experience) to portray all seven
sins: envious Rameau, greedy Ravel, wrathful
Shostakovich, lustful Purcell, proud Prokofiev,
slothful Lassus and finally gluttonous Rachmaninov.

Bjarte Eike (director)
with Martin Vander Weyer (Sir John Falstaff)
‘It must have been an incredible atmosphere in the
taverns of Shakespeare’s time – overflowing with music,
alcohol, sex, gossip, fights, fumes, shouting, singing,
laughing, dancing… How can we recreate some of this
in our soapy-clean, computerised, health-fixated society?’
asks Bjarte Eike, the ‘uproariously talented’ leader of the
groundbreaking ensembles Barokksolistene and The
Alehouse Boys. In a special event for the Ryedale Festival,
they recreate the sights and sounds of an Elizabethan
alehouse in Malton’s Milton Rooms, with music,
dancing, singing and storytelling, while Martin Vander
Weyer leads the Ryedale Festival Players in extracts from
some of Shakespeare’s greatest tavern scenes, including
those in Twelfth Night and Henry IV Part I.
‘Sensational music-making with each person adept at
singing, dancing, acting and playing an instrument,
often simultaneously’ – Opera Now
‘Barokksolistene are an irresistible and totally organic fusion
of styles – their eclecticism underpinned by skill and a spirit
of inquisitive, joyous music-making that could make sense
of any amount of fusion. We’re still a few months off those
best-of-the-year roundups, but Eike and his ensemble have
just shot to the top of my list’ – The Arts Desk

Fenella
Humphreys
Prokofiev – Three pieces from Romeo and Juliet
James MacMillan – After the Tryst
Franck – Violin Sonata in A major
Ravel – Tzigane
Franck’s passionate sonata for violin and piano was
described by the composer as ‘a voyage of the soul’
and expressing a conflict between sacred and worldly
love. It lies at the centre of this recital, alongside a
piece by James MacMillan inspired by William
Soutar’s poem The Tryst, three pieces from
Prokofiev’s famous ballet music for Romeo and Juliet,
and the dazzling virtuosity of Ravel’s showpiece
inspired by gypsy music and folklore.

The Alehouse Boys
Time stands still on the enchanted island of Alcina. She
is a beautiful sorceress who seduces countless men, but
soon tires of them and transforms them into rocks or
wild beasts before they can grow old. When the
handsome knight Ruggiero arrives on her shores it
seems he will be her latest victim. But he is pursued by
his betrothed Bradamante who is determined to break
Alcina’s spell – and gradually the tables are turned.
Alcina falls in love with Ruggiero: the enchantress is
enchanted! She has found true love, but loses her lover,
who returns to the faithful Bradamante. Alcina’s spell
is broken; time no longer stands still in her kingdom;
all have grown older and wiser. Sung here in the first
performance of a new translation by John Warrack, and
bringing together a cast of outstanding young singers
with the brilliant musicians of the Orchestra of the Age
of Enlightenment’s Experience scheme, this is one of
Handel’s greatest masterpieces – an operatic fantasy of
temptation and transformation.
‘with its unerring knack of flushing out operas that are
ideally suited to their surroundings Ryedale Festival
Opera has hit the target yet again…there were only
nine singers, but not a weak link among them…
vivacious, emotional and clear toned…a poignant and
rewarding show’ – Opera magazine

Sunday 17 th July
Mezzo-soprano and BBC New Generation Artist
Kathryn Rudge presents songs and ballads written
between 1923 and 1945 by British composers whose
lives were affected by war. They include nostalgic
gems by Eric Coates and Ivor Novello as well as Roger
Quilter’s beautifully melodic Seven Elizabethan Lyrics
and a lyrical masterpiece by Howells.
‘If you like exceptionally thoughtful music-making, this
album is for you. Rudge’s voice is golden, rich, and even;
her diction crystal clear, and her phrasing superb.
Baillieu’s playing is warm and supportive. Outstanding
performances of every piece; I loved every minute of it’

Mozart – Fantasia in C minor (K.475)
Mozart – Rondo in A minor (K.511)
Mozart – Piano Sonata in B flat major (K.333)
Composed when he was at the height of his powers,
Mozart’s Fantasia in C minor was the first in a series
of deeply-felt and tragic minor key works that
culminated in the famous Requiem of his last year.
There is also a melancholy air to the elegant Rondo
he composed on hearing of the death of a close
friend. In contrast, the final work in this programme
is from happier times: lyrical, good-humoured and
often playful, with a seemingly endless stream of
melodic invention.
‘Bezuidenhout is a prince of the fortepiano, making it
sing in melodic phrases as no other practitioner of this
intractable instrument has done in my experience’ –

‘This is the fury of the world’s dance – fierce pleasure,
agony, ecstasy of love, joy, anger, passion, and
suffering; lightning flashes and thunder rolls; and
above the tumult the indomitable fiddler whirls us on
to the abyss. Amid the clamour he smiles, for to him
it is nothing but a mocking fantasy; at the end, the
darkness beckons him away, and his task is done.’
Wagner’s famous description gives some idea of the
awe-inspiring scope of Beethoven’s quartet op. 131,
heard here alongside Eliot’s East Coker – a meditation
on life, death and redemption.

Beethoven – Quartet no. 13 in B flat (op. 130)
In the last years of his life, the profoundly deaf
Beethoven composed a series of string quartets that
contain some of the most extraordinary music ever
written. ‘After this, what is left for us to write?’ asked
Schubert. Over 100 years later, they inspired the poet
T.S. Eliot who resolved ‘I should like to get something
of that into verse before I die.’ The result was Four
Quartets, Eliot’s own late masterpiece, with its
‘heavenly, or at least more than human gaiety…the
fruit of reconciliation and relief after immense
suffering.’ In the first of a series of four concerts, the
Ryedale Festival brings together the Heath Quartet and
Jeremy Irons to perform these visionary final works.
‘Time present and time past Are both perhaps present
in time future, And time future contained in time past’

Rachel Podger’s performances and recordings have

two of Bach’s great Partitas for solo violin, the second
of which includes the famous Chaconne. She also

Brontë on the 200th anniversary of her birth in 1816.
Her acclaimed biography paints the author as a literary
visionary, trailblazer of feminism and driving force
behind the whole family. She took charge of the
family’s precarious finances when her brother
succumbed to opium addiction. She also travelled
throughout Europe, where she met some of the most
brilliant literary minds of her generation and became
a bestselling female author in a world still dominated
by men. Above all, she created new kinds of heroine
inspired by herself and her life: fiercely intelligent
women burning with hidden passions.

The Marian Consort
After suffering a serious illness at the age of 54,
Beethoven composed his string quartet op. 132, a
journey of exploration and revelation that centres on a
profound slow movement entitled ‘Song of
thanksgiving to God on recovery from an illness.’ Eliot’s
The Dry Salvages also has a message of hope, despite
being written in 1940 during the air-raids on London.
Rory McCleery (director)
Finbar Lynch (Gesualdo)
An exploration of the music and extraordinary life
of the composer Carlo Gesualdo, who was born 450
years ago this year. Breaking the Rules is set on the
final day of Gesualdo’s life, 8 September 1613, when
he is alone in the chapel of his family estate in a
hilltop village near Naples. He has been living at the
castle as a recluse for some time and two weeks ago
his only son died. Now he comes to terms with his
own mortality, knowing that he faces purgatory for
a multitude of sins and haunted by a vision of his
first wife, Maria, whom he murdered 23 years
previously. He tries intoning religious platitudes but
the only thing that can free him from the vision is
listening to music. The sound-track of Gesualdo’s
mind includes his monumental Tenebrae Responsories
and a selection of his madrigals performed by the
Marian Consort.

Triple Concert
A special event, unique to the Ryedale Festival: the
Triple Concert features three contrasting concerts in
different parts of Castle Howard, each performed
three times, with the audiences changing places
between performances.
Performances by candlelight of the great penitential text
of Psalm 51 that has inspired composers through the
ages. Allegri’s famous setting, composed for the Sistine
Chapel, contrasts two choirs, one singing the chant and
the other an ornamented version with famously soaring
high notes for soprano. Four hundred years later, James
MacMillan’s beautiful setting offers another
perspective, mirroring the words in all their variety and
colour, with drama at one end and beauty at the other.

‘I cannot express in words all the grief I felt when I
received the news of the death of Ivan Ivanovich’
wrote Shostakovich in 1944. The composer’s deep
sadness at the loss of his closest friend and mentor
Ivan Sollertinsky found expression in one of his
most powerful chamber works, a Piano Trio, where
biting irony and propulsive anger sit side-by-side
with passages of profound beauty and sadness.

Beethoven’s 32 Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli is
one of the most incredible feats in musical history
(comparable only with Bach’s Goldberg Variations),
where a commonplace tune by a third-rate composer
– a ‘cobbler’s patch’ according to Beethoven – is
transformed into one of the great masterpieces of
Western music. It is played here by Nick van Bloss
alongside an earlier work by Beethoven said to have
been inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Vaughan Williams – On Wenlock Edge
The acclaimed tenor Joshua Ellicott performs three
great song cycles. In his Songs of Travel, Vaughan
Williams recreates something of the spirit of
Schubert’s great wayfaring cycles; it is also full of his
love of the English countryside and character. An die
ferne Geliebte is one of the great works of Beethoven’s
last years, expressing both his joy in nature and
unrequited feelings for an ‘immortal beloved’.
Finally, the Heath Quartet join tenor and pianist to
perform On Wenlock Edge, with its exhilarating and
windswept opening, folk-influenced melodies and
tolling bells – a poignant reflection on young lives
lost and the passing of time.
‘Deservedly huge cheers at the end of the night went to
Joshua Ellicott...musical distinction, emotional precision
and a keen dramatic urgency…’ – The Boston Globe
‘Joshua Ellicott knocked us over like a bowling ball
rolling down the aisle (in the midst of such consummate
professionalism by all, it seems wrong to have a
favourite – but I’ll confess to a silent “oh good” every
time Ellicott stood up to sing)’ – The Scotsman

The Royal Northern Sinfonia serenades Shakespeare

world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the basis
for the vibrant and colourful music of Purcell’s The
Fairy Queen; it also inspired a suite by Mendelssohn,
including the famous overture and Wedding March,
but also other less known but equally magical
movements. Walton’s imagination was fired when he
provided the music for a famous film of Henry V
starring Laurence Olivier, whereas lines in praise of
music from The Merchant of Venice moved Vaughan
Williams to compose his unique Serenade to Music.

Tessa Boase – The
Housekeeper’s Tale
This was one of the most prestigious jobs a 19th or
early 20th century working woman could wish for, and
also one of the toughest – a long way from Downton
Abbey fiction. An English country house housekeeper
might manage 100 servants and a domestic budget
equal to a small bank. She had no need of a home, or
even a husband. Tessa Boase tells the extraordinary and
moving stories of five women who ran Britain’s most
prominent households, including an unwanted
pregnancy, a forbidden love affair, a prison sentence
and several cases of summary dismissal. This was not,
it turns out, such a cushy job… ‘Boase makes history sing, packing her stories with details
of family life and class distinctions and the minutiae of
everyday living... A great read’ – Toronto Sun

A Walk through the End
of Time – by Jessica
Duchen
Dame Harriet Walter and Guy Paul (readers)
Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time is not only
music of genius; it is also a message of hope.
Composed by Messiaen and performed by him and
three fellow captives in a prisoner-of-war camp in
1941, it remains a source of wonder to this day how
music of such transcendental beauty could emerge
from such conditions. Harriet Walter and Guy Paul
star in a reading of Jessica Duchen’s acclaimed oneact play exploring the ideas behind the music and
the circumstances of its composition. Through the
story of two people whose lives have been deeply
affected by the Quartet, it pays tribute to the
enduring power of music, love and the human spirit.

Olivier Messiaen – Quartet for the End of Time
Levon Chilingirian leads a soul-searching candlelit
concert, beginning with the violin sonata that
Debussy composed in 1915 as an expression of his
French spirit and heritage, but also his despair at the
war. In the same year, Edgar Bainton composed a
richly melodic string quartet at the Ruhleben
internment camp in Germany. James MacMillan’s
Motet III for solo clarinet is an adaptation of music
from his work Since the Day of Preparation about the
Resurrection of Christ. The concert culminates with
one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth
century, Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time,
composed and first performed in the prisoner-of-war
camp Stalag VIII-A in 1941, and inspired by a verse
from the Book of Revelation: ‘In homage to the Angel
of the Apocalypse, who lifts his hand toward heaven,
saying, “There shall be time no longer”.’

the legendary pure-toned instrument (created for

Catullus’ Bedspread:
The Life of Rome’s
most erotic poet
Living through the debauchery, decadence and
political machinations of the crumbling Roman
Republic, Catullus filled his passionate poetry with
22
emotion, wit and lurid insight into many of the
Republic’s most enduring figures. His poetry tells of
a life beset with love, loss and political conflict. His
own scandalous love affairs brimmed with the
excess, corruption and spectacle of his time. Daisy
Dunn talks about her acclaimed book that
rediscovers the world of Catullus’ passions, exploring
his adventures at sea, private dinners, lovers’ trysts
and power games – a rare portrait of life during one
of the most critical moments in world history, seen
through the eyes of one of Rome’s greatest writers.
‘Dunn’s beautifully written biography is a superb
portrait of this most human of poets who leaps to life,
hating and loving as ferociously as ever, before our 21stcentury eyes’ – The Sunday Times
‘An amazing mixture of pacey biography and first-rate

(op. 102 no. 2)
Beethoven’s last two cello sonatas date from his late
period where he was exploring brave new worlds of
sound. Full of contrasts, from the prayerful slow
movement of the fourth sonata to the triumphant
fugue that concludes the fifth, they are among the
greatest works ever composed for cello and piano.
In contrast, the Bagatelles may appear short, even
trivial pieces – but this is music where Beethoven
sees the world in a grain of sand. The programme is

Julian Perkins
There is perhaps no more intimate way to hear Bach
than played on the clavichord – the sweet-toned and
unusually expressive keyboard instrument that was
reputed to have been the composer’s favourite. It is
rarely heard in public in modern times but this
beautiful and intimate Anglo-Saxon church is surely
the perfect venue to hear Bach played on the
instrument he loved. Julian Perkins performs two of
the great French Suites and two pairs of Preludes and
Fugues from the collection The Well-Tempered
Clavichord alongside something very different: an
intimate set of clavichord pieces that Herbert Howells
composed to shut out the ‘crushingly noisy world.’
‘Bach was so obliging as to sit down to his Silbermann
clavichord and favourite instrument, upon which he
played three or four of his choicest and most difficult
compositions … whenever he had a long note to express,
he absolutely contrived to produce, from his instrument,
a cry of sorrow and complaint, such as can only be
effected on the clavichord… After dinner he played,
with little intermission, till near eleven o’clock at night.
During this time, he grew so animated and possessed,
that he not only played, but looked like one inspired…
He said, if he were to be set to work frequently, in this
manner, he should grow young again’ – Charles
Burney on J. S. Bach

Scottish song Ca’ the Yowes lies behind an atmospheric
evocation of his native Ayrshire by James MacMillan.
Two works composed by Haydn during his final stay
in London – a time he considered the happiest of his
life – complete a programme celebrating different
aspects of the British Isles. The Clock Symphony is
named after the ticking idea that opens its second
movement and is animated by the composer’s usual
inventive brilliance, while his joyous final symphony
famously seems to make use of the London street
song ‘Hot Cross Buns.’
