Crypt Close-Up – Duologues

Baroque violinist Rachel Podger and recorder phenomenon Lucie Horsch play baroque showpieces and British folksongs in a concert to illuminate the Crypt at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

They call Rachel Podger “the queen of the baroque violin”. Lucie Horsch has been described as “the latest big thing in recorder playing” – an artist whose charisma has redefined the 21^st century recorder. So put them together in the magical atmosphere of the Crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields, and it’s safe to say that we won’t be short of illumination! This hour-long Crypt Closeup brings their shared musicianship close enough to touch, with a programme of Baroque delights by Telemann and JS Bach, as well as the pair’s delightfully fresh take on British folk songs: music as old as time, that always sounds new.
