BRSO barock · Rachel Podger

In the organizer's words:

With BRSO baroque, Sir Simon Rattle has created a truly successful new series in which the orchestra ventures into unfamiliar territory. The musicians play historically informed baroque music on period instruments in order to trace the "original sound movement" that has had a lasting influence on all of our musical lives, according to Rattle. The matinee with Rachel Podger, one of the most influential virtuosos on the baroque violin, also lives entirely from the movement: with Purcell's dance-like theater music, Bach's incomparable A minor violin concerto - probably one of the most famous solo concertos ever -, Telemann's E minor sonata full of chamber music sophistication and color as well as Lully's French elegant, subtle music to Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. A program designed as a scenically moving sound journey.
