From Versailles to Leipzig, via Venice.
Music from the court of Versailles begins and ends this sparkling exploration of the baroque. Jonathan Cohen leads a slimmed-down BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and shows just how flexible this group of players can be, as they weave their way through a selection of dances, fugues and concertos.
In the hot seat, Principal Oboe Jennifer Galloway joins Orchestra Leader Zoë Beyers for a solo turn in Bach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin, following fireworks by star brass players Tom Fountain and Gwyn Owen in Vivaldi’s fiendish Concerto for Two Trumpets.
