London Calling: violin works from the Baroque capital
Byrd, Geminiani, Babell, Matteis, Eccles and a nod to Handel in works given by violinist Ilia Korol and harpsichordist Jermaine Sprosse.
Beautiful and unusual works spanning two centuries by Byrd, Geminiani, Babell, Matteis, Eccles, given by Ilia Korol (violin) and Jermaine Sprosse (harpsichord). London has always drawn artists and musicians to its cultural heart, and perhaps especially so in the Baroque era. German-born Handel spent most of his career in the English capital, and not only composed his finest works but also influenced notable local musicians such as William Babell. Such successes attracted musicians from other English cities, as well as places as far-flung as Italy. But it wasn't all grand gestures - this concert presents works for smaller ensembles and drawing rooms, by turns florid, intimate and fun.
