Playing With Numbers III, Hanover Band, Wigmore Hall, 4 May 2000

A concert of Vivaldi pieces, performed by the Hanover Band, led by Richard Egarr.

A Thursday evening concert – both of us had pretty chock-full diaries in those days, but Janie and I both managed to limit our appointments to avoid late afternoon ones.

We heard:

  • Concerto in G minor for 2 violins and cello Op 3 No 2
  • Motet “In Furore Iustissimae Irae” for soprano, 2 violins, viola and bass
  • Concerto in E minor for violin Op 6 No 5
  • Concerto in D minor for violin Op 6 No 6
  • Motet “Per la Solennita di S. Antonio” Vos aurae per montes
  • Concerto in D major for 4 violins, Op 3 No 1

Here’s at least a sample from each of the pieces we heard that night – sadly none by The Hanover Band who didn’t tend to record this stuff. The “In furore iustissimae irae” is worth the price of admission alone.
