What is it about Magdalena Kozena’s (Carmen) voice that makes it so enchanting? She is among the purest, lightest, most otherworldly of mezzos, capable of transporting to audience away from the concert hall entirely. For Wigmore Hall’s 2015/16 season, she is performing a set of recital in celebration of her talents. Although the whole series is tantalizing, this concert is a particularly thrilling proposition. Kozena will perform alongside her husband Sir Simon Rattle, the Berlin Philharmonic chief conductor, in his first ever appearance at the venue as a pianist in company. Six outstanding musicians from Berlin, London and Bern will join them to create a unique ensemble.

In line with the rarity of the occasion, Kozena and Rattle have prepared a startlingly mixed programme. The night begins with Chausson’s Chanson perpetuelle (1898), the symbolist composer’s last completed work and a hugely dramatic showpiece. It will be followed by works from Brahms, Ravel, Strauss and Stravinsky, several of which respond to the works of Shakespeare. Then, for the final stretch, Kozena will sing the music of her Bohemian homeland, with Janacek’s Rikadla (1926) and a selection of Dvorak’s vocal works, including four of the playful Gypsy Songs (1880). Book swiftly – this will be one of the musical events of 2016.
