Berliner Barock Solisten/Kapelis – Bach: Complete Keyboard Concertos

Barbican Centre

Spain in the 16th century: King Philip II rules with an iron hand over a world empire that is riddled with intrigue and shaped by the deadly control of the Inquisition. No one can be trusted, so the despot's suspicion turns even against his own son, Don Carlos. And rightly so, for the crown prince's secret love for his stepmother, Elisabeth, begins to shake the foundations of the kingdom. The prince's desire becomes part of a power struggle that inextricably links the private and the political. Into these entanglements steps Don Carlos's childhood friend, the Marquis of Posa, who returns to court from the rebellious Dutch provinces. He brings with him a vision of freedom and tolerance that holds both hope and destruction.

Shipwrecked and rescued, Viola is washed up on an unknown shore. Strange and alone, she has no idea what ground she is setting foot on. "What is this country called?" she asks, and the answer is "Illyria." In this land everything seems possible. Love knows no boundaries. Everyone enters into a relationship with everyone else. Wild desire and seduction reign, along with love's frenzy and an intoxicated whirl of activity. Viola, disguised as a man and searching for her twin brother, falls into the clutches of Olivia. Orsino, who is unhappily in love with Olivia, is loved by Viola. Malvolio, the enthusiast mocked by his companions, desires Olivia. In the end, no one gets the one they wanted at the start.
