Work: Concerto for four violins in A minor, Op.7 no.11

“The name Stradivarius had an air of magic to me.” Virtuoso violinist James Ehnes’ statement manages to capture the air of reverence which underpinned Friday’s Music at Oxford concert. The gala marked the opening of the UK’s first Stradivarius exhibition at Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, and two violins from the exhibition were on temporary release for the evening.

Clôturant l'édition des 20 ans de l'Académie Baroque Internationale du Festival du Périgord Noir, deux concerts ont permis d'apprécier la haute qualité de cette structure pédagogique.

Das Spielbewusstsein und Feuer La Serenissimas gepaart mit dem Contralto-Wahnsinn Jess Dandys sorgte für einen beachtlichen Hochgenuss.
