Cambridge Early Music Concerts 2012
ORPHEUS, I AM
Joel Frederiksen (bass, lute, archlute)
2.00pm, Sunday 20 May, 2012
The American basso profundo accompanies himself on the lute and archlute in songs by Dowland, Willaert, Marini,
Johnson, Attaignant and Caccini.
Joel Frederiksen has a busy international solo
career in opera and oratorio with the likes of Paul O'Dette and Jordi Savall, as well as in smaller-scale
period performance.
"Frederiksen is at the moment the only singer to master the art of self-accompanying to the
lute at the highest level. He has at his disposal an astonishing range of vocal registers and styles.
The most impressive were the big, theatrical monodies of Caccini: easily over two and a half octaves, virtuosically
ornamented and with powerful diction... truly amazing." - Donaukurier
