Useful information
about the performance
With “Draw on Sweet Night”, the British a cappella formation Voces8 has given its new programme the title of what is probably the most beautiful English madrigal. It was penned by Shakespeare’s contemporary John Wilbye and depicts the onset of darkness with beguilingly delicate sounds. The repertoire of night songs ranges from the Venetian Renaissance composer Giovanni Croce to the contemporary American Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw. Voces8’s concerts reliably create storms of enthusiasm with their typically English sound: bright, clear, transparent, perfectly intoned and immediately moving.
Expert tip
Tagesspiegel
"The flawless intonation and the simultaneity with which the octet synchronises a crescendo or sophisticated syncopations within milliseconds or sets the final notes are not only astonishing, but also go straight to the heart."
