Countertenor Reginald Mobley and the Academy of Ancient Music shine in an alternative history of English Baroque, with a new work by Roderick Williams. 

Directed by oboist Alfredo Bernadini, Ensemble Zefiro's programme themed around La Follia is thrillingly played, human, edgy and unpredictable. 

From Handel to Hasse, the soprano joins La Folia Barockorchester for a Baroque gallery of Cleopatras as a new season begins. 

One of the world's top period instrument ensembles bring Handel's Water Music and other baroque classics to Klosters.

The Venice Baroque Orchestra offers a fast-paced, intense array of 18th-century selections in New York City.

The day after the Winter Solstice and Wigmore Hall was bathed in an Italian summer trip to La Serenissima. 

Widely considered one of the finest oboists of his generation, Albrecht Mayer gave a riveting performance with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra at the city’s Tonhalle.

B'Rock bring an interesting programme of Italian Baroque to their debut at the Proms.

On the face of things, the choice of eight seemingly very disconnected pieces in the programme, from 1700 to the present day, was disconcerting.

Ohne den verständlichen Ermüdungserscheinungen in diesen verrückten Kämpfen, wäre Il Giardinos Konzert zum Abschied ein brüllender Rausschmeißer ohne jeden „Abzug“ gewesen.

Franco Fagioli zündete in Essen ein italienisches Barockfeuerwerk.
