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

In this year's London Festival of Baroque Music, the programme of Austrian Baroque rarities by Swiss-based early music group Les Passions de l’Ame particularly caught my eye.

New Year’s Day falls at the end of August in Utrecht! We gather, we drink, we kiss, we wish each other well while opening the Festival of Early Music.

My sweet course of the sumptuous feast, under the title of the Valletta International Baroque Festival, arrived on 18 January. The fare was a selection of various European deserts, performed by the New Century Baroque at the Jesuit Church in Valletta.

The energetic Holland Baroque Society presented a lively program juxtaposing works of Johann Joseph Fux and Johann Sebastian Bach this week. Evident from the start was the group’s overarching enthusiasm and passion for this particular repertoire. The atmosphere reflected the musicians onstage, full of youth and infused with a breath of new life.

Cantate participative, petit-déjeuner en musique, concert sous les étoiles, bal tzigane et répertoires rares étaient au menu du festival foisonnant organisé par la Cité de la Voix.

Au Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier, le contre-ténor livre avec Il pomo d'oro un programme « Alleluja » plus convaincant dans ses pages lentes que dans ses traits virtuoses.
