Baroque Concert — Vivaldi: Emőke Baráth (soprano), Anna Reinhold (alto), Brindley Sherratt (bass), Jonathan Cohen

イベント情報

British master of Baroque music and+ a return conductor of the Festival Orchestra, Jonathan Cohen, will use Vivaldi’s clever, storylike pieces to show how international diplomacy worked in the 18th century.

Vivaldi’s music, however, elevates this awkward lobbying to great heights. The arias, alternately describing the flow of the river or the storm, are expressive. The vocal melodies are instrumentally challenging, the duets are lyrical and the instrumental solo arrangements are clever. In addition to the French elements (such as the overture of the second part), Vivaldi also relied heavily on his earlier works, and the results are in many places better than the original.
