Roderick Williams and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Baritone Roderick Williams directs the OAE and sings sacred solo cantatas by Telemann and Bach, and is joined by soprano Rowan Pierce for Handel's secular Apollo e Dafne.
As part of Southbank Centre鈥檚 Inside Out season baritone Roderick Williams directs the OAE and sings sacred solo cantatas by Telemann and JS Bach. After the interval Williams joins soprano Rowan Pierce for Apollo e Dafne. In Handel's poignant and seductive setting of the tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, passion and desire are succeeded by regret and penitence as Daphne fights off Apollo's insatiable lust and finds escape by transforming herself into a laurel tree, its branches forever watered by Apollo's remorseful tears.
Introduced live from the Royal Festival Hall by Martin Handley.
