Violinist Rachel Podger joins the Orchestra for Bach's Double Violin Concerto.

This programme features Bach's upbeat Violin Concerto in E.

Another concerto comes in the form of the dramatic G minor work from the now little-known composer, Pisendel. One of the most accomplished violinists of his day, Pisendel wrote music that influenced Vivaldi, Telemann and many more.
