Courtly and Quixotic

Programme:
Johann Friedrich Fasch Ouverture-Suite D minor, FaWV K:d4
Georg Philipp Telemann Ouverture-Suite, TWV 55:G10 ‘Burlesque de Quixotte’
Johann Sebastian Bach Sinfonia to Cantata BWV 42, ‘Am Abend aber desselbigen Sabbats’

The Summer School Baroque Orchestra revels in the colour and character of the German High Baroque. Fasch’s vibrant D minor Ouverture-Suite brims with rhythmic flair, Telemann’s witty Burlesque de Quixotte paints musical portraits of Cervantes’ hero, and Bach’s radiant Sinfonia from BWV 42 glows with expressive grace. Crisp articulation, lively dance rhythms and richly textured period sound in a programme of brilliance and imagination.
