Work: Concerto Grosso in G minor "Christmas Concerto", Op.8 no.6

The Scottish Ensemble with guitarist Sean Shibe perform a thoughtful programme of ancient and modern Christmas-themed music in a candlelit St John’s Kirk.

What better antidote to the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping than a sackful of festive concertos? With Birmingham’s famous German market in full swing right outside the Town Hall, inside was also packed with concertgoers of all ages eager to hear celebrated violinist Nicola Benedetti.

Beim Festival unter dem Motto „Reduse – Reuse – Recycle“ brachte Arsenale Sonoro das Bologneser Werk andachts- und mit Instrumentalwerken Corellis, Torellis und Vitalis stimmungsvoll zur neuzeitlichen Erstaufführung.
