Work: Concerto Grosso in F major, Op.6 No.2, HWV 320

London: a truly European city, a magnet for talented musicians, was brought alive by the European Union Baroque Orchestra at the Bolzano Festival in Italy.

The Combattimento Consort Amsterdam gave a robust concert of Baroque repertoire last weekend in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Presenting an ambitious program of concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel and one particularly humorous organ concerto by the little-known English composer John Stanley, this fine ensemble drew a stark contrast to what we usually expect in the Baroque field today.

Mit berüchtigten Concerti grossi stellen Ensemble und sein Leiter ihre Qualitäten erneut erwartungsgemäß unter Beweis.
