Vivaldi & Haydn: Purcell Choir, Orfeo Orchestra & Simon Standage

演出简介

For tonight’s concert, György Vashegyi and his two ensembles – the Purcell Choir and the Orfeo Orchestra, which plays a selection of authentic period instruments – have combined works from a pair of outstanding composers known to concert audiences not for their ecclesiastical choral music, but for their instrumental works.

Antonio Vivaldi was in his creative heyday in the first half of the 18th century, while Joseph Haydn was more active in its second half, carving his name into music history with a rich oeuvre of symphonies, string quartets, keyboard sonatas and oratorios. Yet parts of the enormous bodies of work of both composers only entered the musical consciousness in the 20th century.
