The year is 1707 and a young composer from
Saxony, George Frideric Handel, has come to Rome
to hear the music of the great violinist and innovator
Arcangelo Corelli. In the first of the five Proms
Saturday Matinees, Richard Egarr, Sophie Bevan
and the Academy of Ancient Music examine
Handel’s vivacious Italian cantatas in the context
of virtuosic concerti grossi by Corelli and his younger
contemporary Giuseppe Valentini, linked by duo
keyboard interludes by Prince Giambattista
Borghese’s court harpsichordist, Bernardo Pasquini.Tickets £10 - £12.
