The Academy of Ancient Music puts composer Dario Castello in the spotlight and in context in this live stream from the West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge.

The Academy of Ancient Music played with such stylistic elegance, charm and sheer physical beauty that it was like hearing I Musici and Virtuosi di Roma for the first time in this repertoire in the 1950s.

A satisfying concoction of Italian concertos from the Academy of Ancient Music had Frank de Bruine leading the charge on oboe, with pristine performances also from violin and harpsichord.

London: a truly European city, a magnet for talented musicians, was brought alive by the European Union Baroque Orchestra at the Bolzano Festival in Italy.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach is often described as a crucial composer in the transition between the Baroque and Classical periods, but we never seem to be able to move beyond this image.

In an age of modern convenience and so-called progress, it’s refreshing to witness an endeavor by a group of enthusiastic young musicians seeking to dig up music’s past. Bojan Cicic and his ensemble Suonar Cantando put on a marvelous display of musical responsibility by treating this repertoire with the fire it deserves.

Geleitet von barockem Leipziger Vesperdienst, Kollegialität und eigener exquisiten Art des Singens, arrangierte sich die NBV als Engel und Hirten unter dem Licht Gottes – und Tilburgs Konzertsaal.
