Performers

Soloists from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

A chance to enjoy the distinctive sonorities and colours of the OAE's period wind instruments.

Earlier this season the OAE's string section had their time in the limelight (25 November), so this concert showcases the wonderful soundworld that the period-specific instruments of the OAE's wind section provide.

Tying into the OAE's season theme of Flying the Flag there's a central-European Bohemian focus, including music from a close friend of Mozart's Josef Myslivecek, whose dynamic personality shines through in his music.

The concert is started off Mozart's masterpiece for 12 wind instruments (plus a rogue double bass), known especially for its heart-melting adagio.

An accomplished technical display from the OAE's period wind ensemble which occasionally lacked personality.
