Maxim Emelyanychev forges connections between composers ancient and modern, but it's the Baroque composers who come off best as played by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

The Orchestra of St. Luke's and Bernard Labadie came up with the excellent idea of a Bach-centered festival in New York. 

Interleaving Bach violin concertos with Haydn symphonies, the ACO give an energetic performance in the Sydney Opera House, with highlight solos from Richard Tognetti and Helena Rathbone.

What a lovely way to round off a weekend, with some feel-good favourites from one of the world’s finest early music ensembles. Currently in their silver jubilee season, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra actually began to emerge a couple of years earlier than their official 1987 launch.

Das Ensemble lebte Bach und Prinz Johann Ernst, so dass der offizielle Einstand als Botschafter Arnstadts noch mehr Verheißung als nur mitreißende Erfüllung war. Bach revisited.
