Booklet

 A celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday with a program of songs and narrations from his plays and incidental music by his contemporaries.

Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare's works. More than a 100 songs and numerous instrumental cues are found in his theatre, which funtion as powerful tools to create different atmospheres, convey feelings, enhance emotions, induce sleep, falling in love or miraculous healings. PHOENIX - in its initial formation as a consort of viols - brings to life some of the Bard's most expressive texts associated with music and some of the most beautiful music he chose to be heard at his plays.

 

This is the LIVE RECORDING of the ensemble's debut on 24.04.1999, as a consort of viols: “A red-letter day for Israel's musical life... The chosen songs, texts and instrumental pieces from the plays were a collection of real gems. The Renaissance instruments’ clarity and balance were immensely enjoyable, lively and fresh. Soprano Miriam Meltzer excelling as a charming, utterly convincing Macbethian witch, Benny Hendel capturing the various accents and impersonations to perfection... The Consort will have to work hard to live up to the standard it has established in its debut”. The Jerusalem Post

SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare

Booklet

 A celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday with a program of songs and narrations from his plays and incidental music by his contemporaries.

Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare's works. More than a 100 songs and numerous instrumental cues are found in his theatre, which funtion as powerful tools to create different atmospheres, convey feelings, enhance emotions, induce sleep, falling in love or miraculous healings. PHOENIX - in its initial formation as a consort of viols - brings to life some of the Bard's most expressive texts associated with music and some of the most beautiful music he chose to be heard at his plays.

 

This is the LIVE RECORDING of the ensemble's debut on 24.04.1999, as a consort of viols: “A red-letter day for Israel's musical life... The chosen songs, texts and instrumental pieces from the plays were a collection of real gems. The Renaissance instruments’ clarity and balance were immensely enjoyable, lively and fresh. Soprano Miriam Meltzer excelling as a charming, utterly convincing Macbethian witch, Benny Hendel capturing the various accents and impersonations to perfection... The Consort will have to work hard to live up to the standard it has established in its debut”. The Jerusalem Post

SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare

Booklet

 A celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday with a program of songs and narrations from his plays and incidental music by his contemporaries.

Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare's works. More than a 100 songs and numerous instrumental cues are found in his theatre, which funtion as powerful tools to create different atmospheres, convey feelings, enhance emotions, induce sleep, falling in love or miraculous healings. PHOENIX - in its initial formation as a consort of viols - brings to life some of the Bard's most expressive texts associated with music and some of the most beautiful music he chose to be heard at his plays.

 

This is the LIVE RECORDING of the ensemble's debut on 24.04.1999, as a consort of viols: “A red-letter day for Israel's musical life... The chosen songs, texts and instrumental pieces from the plays were a collection of real gems. The Renaissance instruments’ clarity and balance were immensely enjoyable, lively and fresh. Soprano Miriam Meltzer excelling as a charming, utterly convincing Macbethian witch, Benny Hendel capturing the various accents and impersonations to perfection... The Consort will have to work hard to live up to the standard it has established in its debut”. The Jerusalem Post

SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare

Booklet

 A celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday with a program of songs and narrations from his plays and incidental music by his contemporaries.

Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare's works. More than a 100 songs and numerous instrumental cues are found in his theatre, which funtion as powerful tools to create different atmospheres, convey feelings, enhance emotions, induce sleep, falling in love or miraculous healings. PHOENIX - in its initial formation as a consort of viols - brings to life some of the Bard's most expressive texts associated with music and some of the most beautiful music he chose to be heard at his plays.

 

This is the LIVE RECORDING of the ensemble's debut on 24.04.1999, as a consort of viols: “A red-letter day for Israel's musical life... The chosen songs, texts and instrumental pieces from the plays were a collection of real gems. The Renaissance instruments’ clarity and balance were immensely enjoyable, lively and fresh. Soprano Miriam Meltzer excelling as a charming, utterly convincing Macbethian witch, Benny Hendel capturing the various accents and impersonations to perfection... The Consort will have to work hard to live up to the standard it has established in its debut”. The Jerusalem Post

SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare

Booklet

 A celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday with a program of songs and narrations from his plays and incidental music by his contemporaries.

Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare's works. More than a 100 songs and numerous instrumental cues are found in his theatre, which funtion as powerful tools to create different atmospheres, convey feelings, enhance emotions, induce sleep, falling in love or miraculous healings. PHOENIX - in its initial formation as a consort of viols - brings to life some of the Bard's most expressive texts associated with music and some of the most beautiful music he chose to be heard at his plays.

 

This is the LIVE RECORDING of the ensemble's debut on 24.04.1999, as a consort of viols: “A red-letter day for Israel's musical life... The chosen songs, texts and instrumental pieces from the plays were a collection of real gems. The Renaissance instruments’ clarity and balance were immensely enjoyable, lively and fresh. Soprano Miriam Meltzer excelling as a charming, utterly convincing Macbethian witch, Benny Hendel capturing the various accents and impersonations to perfection... The Consort will have to work hard to live up to the standard it has established in its debut”. The Jerusalem Post
