Two nights in a row at The Wigmore Hall…two nights in a row from the Early Music and Baroque Series…two corkers.
The previous night we’d seen the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin – click here or below:
‘Opus 5!’ – A Corelli Celebration, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Wigmore Hall, 8 June 2013
A very different style tonight. A rare chance to see Jordi Savall up close playing small scale music, along with Andrew Lawrence-King (he of the Loqueville that captivated me so many years ago).
Not all early music, of course, but some well early and some traditional of no fixed provenance; neither composer nor time period. Some lovely. All interesting.
Here is a link to the Wigmore Hall programme page for the evening.
Below is a YouTube with some music very much along the lines of the music we heard that night…
…and here is the very trio we saw, a few months later, performing live at the Fira Mediterrània de Manresa:
A truly memorable weekend of early music.
