Emotions and meditations: Andreas Scholl and the ACO span the centuries in Sydney

David Larkin, 5th October

Pairing music from the 18th and 20th centuries is a common programming strategy, one which can bring out interesting parallels between the musical preoccupations of two very different eras. Some 20th-century composers looked to the more distant past as a way of engaging with traditions before the emotionally coercive 19th century.
