Virtuoso Baroque Concertos

The London Handel Players (www.londonhandelplayers.co.uk) are a world-class ensemble bringing together leading period-instrument specialists in the field of Baroque chamber music. Closely associated with the music of George Frideric Handel, they also explore the work of his contemporaries to present a vast repertoire of gems from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Their programme for us consists entirely of solo concertos and ‘concerti grossi’, showcasing not only the talents of the players themselves but also the variety of styles and instrumental combinations employed in such works by Baroque composers. It ends with one of the greatest of them all – J. S. Bach’s Fifth Brandenburg Concerto for harpsichord, flute and violin soloists.

Programme:

Telemann Concerto for Recorder & Viola da Gamba Leclair Violin Concerto in F major, Op. 7/4

J. S. Bach Concerto for 3 Violins, BWV 1064R

Vivaldi Concerto for Sopranino Recorder, RV 443
