Work: Concerto in D major for four violins, TWV 40:202

Young ensemble demonstrates their maturity at the Valletta International Baroque Festival.

Baroque music is pretty old, isn’t it? But the great thing is, you don’t have to have the advanced years of a Brandenburg Concerto to put it on. The Oxford Philomusica has been active for little more than a decade – and they rushed through the pouring rain to play at the similarly young St George’s Bristol.

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