Richard Egarr conducts Handel and Vivaldi

Richard Egarr and the AAM at Robeco Zomerconcerten

Rutger Muller, 5th July

The Academy of Ancient Music has been critically acclaimed in pursuing Baroque composers’ original stylistic intent, and this gave tonight’s concert the prospect of a faithful look into the period of 1650-1750. Here are a few of my highlights from this varied Robeco Summer Concert in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
