Wigmore Hall

About Wigmore Hall

Wigmore Hall was built in 1901 by the German piano firm Bechstein next to its showrooms on Wigmore Street. The Hall was intended to provide a venue both grandly impressive and yet intimate enough for recitals. It has always been important for artists giving their London debuts, but it is also a cherished venue for major international artists and their capacity audiences, and now presents 400 concerts a year.

  • Academy of Ancient Music: Biber, Bach, Vivaldi at Wigmore Hall

    Classical Music

    29 Feb 2012

    Alina Ibragimova makes her AAM debut in a programme which vividly charts groundbreaking innovations in the role of the violin, from Biber’s Passacaglia (thought to be the first work for solo violin) to the summit of the baroque concerto. The juxtaposition of soloist and accompaniment has endless variations. Biber’s Passacaglia calls on the violinist to accompany herself. A playful dialogue ensues as JS Bach introduces a harpsichord. Finally the stage bustles with action as JS Bach and Vivaldi explore the interaction between orchestra and soloist, full of harmony and conversation, contrast and opposition.

    Ailish Tynan’s Irish-themed recordings with Iain Burnside have fast achieved desert island disc status among connoisseurs of fine singing and spine-tingling musicianship. They are joined here by Andrew Kennedy for a programme that reflects everything from Samuel Barber’s visionary Hermit Songs, settings of medieval Irish poems preserved in the margins of illuminated manuscripts, to the rip-roaring wildness of Gerald Barry’s The Important of Being Earnest.
