Performer: Fulvio Bettini

Vittorio Ghielmi and his ll Suonar Parlante ensemble present a resonantly melancholy and reflective programme of music mourning loss as live performance returns to Italy.

A performance of Handel's short masterpiece Apollo e Dafne at the Halle Handel Festival was somewhat disappointing but Fulvio Bettini impressed in the bass role.

Christina Pluhar led ensemble L'Arpeggiata in a concert of delightful sacred music from the Habsburg court chapel in Vienna.
