Show Information

The program is as follows:

Vivaldi Concerto in D RV 564 - Amazingly, the opening of the first movement for Concerto in D sounds remarkably modern. Typical Vivaldi - with a rhythmic drive and energy with jazz-like syncopations. Featuring Hiro Kurosaki and Lucinda Moon on solo violins and Jamie Hey and Rosemary Quinn on solo cellos.

Handel Concerto grosso Op. 6 No. 10 in D minor - Handel's great Concerto grosso Op 6 No 10 is operatic, with a dramatic opening movement in the French style. Elegant, restrained second and fifth movements contrast the intellectual rigour of the third and the wild energy of the fourth.

Zavateri Concerto a Tempesta di mare Op. 1 No. 12 - Zavateri's Tempesta di mare (storm at sea) depicts no less than two storms, with a beautiful calm in between. Featuring virtuosic writing for solo violin that is highly imaginative and inventive with Hiro Kurosaki on Baroque Violin.

Heinichen Concerto for Oboe in G minor S.237 - Heinichen mixed idioms of German, French and Italian music but followed Vivaldi's Italian concerto model which can be heard in Concerto for Oboe. Evocative pizzicato accompaniment to sinuous oboe in slow movement. If you love the Albinoni and Marcello concertos, you will love this. Featuring soloist Kirsten Barry.

Vivaldi Concerto in F RV 569 - Concerto in F features violin, hunting horns, oboes, bassoon and solo cello - truly evocative. Featuring soloist Hiro Kurosaki on Baroque Violin.

Pisendel Violin Concerto in D major - Pisendel was one of the most famous violinists of his time - Telemann, Albinoni and Vivaldi all dedicated works to him. He was a student of Heinichen and a friend of Vivaldi, but his own style is highly original - edgy and spectacular with breathtaking writing for virtuoso violin. Featuring soloist Hiro Kurosaki on Baroque Violin.
