Andreas Scholl & Ensemble 1700 olv. Dorothee Oberlinger

‘Six concerts with different instruments’, ‘little gifts’, received from divine powers. This is how Bach himself describes his Brandenburg Concertos. The delightful recorder-playing of Dorothee Oberlinger dialogues with the Ensemble 1700 in a programme of sparkling joy accompanied by melancholy and bitter fear. This concert takes us through all the life-defining emotions. From Vivaldi’s inventive exuberance, through the resigned weariness of Bach’s ‘Vergnügte Ruh’ to the ever confusing experience of first love: Countertenor Andreas Scholl will also make your heart beat faster with his rendering of Handel’s ‘Mi palpita il cor’. This programme is an example of the rhetorical and emotional power of baroque music, brought to life by skilled musicians.
