Padmore Walking to Lubeck

Edinburgh International Festival 14 August, 2007 Queen's Hall

FIVE STARS - The Herald

Mark Padmore has won acclaim worldwide for the musicality and intelligence of his singing. He is accompanied by chamber ensemble Walking to Lübeck, whose name is a reference to Bach’s journey on foot to hear the flamboyant composer Buxtehude play.

  • Bach Ich armer Mensch, BWV 55
  • Buxtehude Contrapunctus 1
  • Bach Bist du bei mir
  • Buxtehude Contrapunctus 2
  • Bach Komm, du süsse Todesstunde (recit + aria)
  • Buxtehude Klaglied
  • Kuhnau Sonata Prima from Musicalische Vorstellung einiger Biblischer Historien Der Streit zwischen David und Goliath Il Combattimento trà David e Goliath
  • Bach Ich habe genug

Their playing was sparkling throughout ... Padmore was in magnificent voice throughout ... Baroque with contemporary panache.

Keith Bruce, The Herald
