Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Cecilia Bernadini

Meditations from the Bach family on the human condition in "Cantatas for the soul" performed by the Dunedin Consort in Ta Giezu Church at the Valletta International Baroque Festival.

An evening of music-making of great integrity and intelligence from renowned Bach expert John Butt and his dynamic ensemble. 

I’ve never before dreamt of being a fly on the wall during early discussions of festival programming, but this concert really set me thinking. Two minor-key works? One instrument? Ten o’clock on a Saturday night? The element which reframes everything is the Lammermuir Festival’s binary belief in beauty of music and place.
