Baroque Doubles: Nicola Benedetti with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Violinist Nicola Benedetti joins period-instrument group the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment for a celebration of Baroque concertos.
The cavernous Royal Albert Hall auditorium is an ideal space to explore the clean harmonies and decorative melodies of the Baroque concerto. Period-instrument ensemble the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is joined by leading violinist Nicola Benedetti to perform double violin concertos by Vivaldi and Bach. In addition to one of only three concertos Vivaldi wrote for two oboes, we hear concerti grossi by Handel and Newcastle-born Charles Avison.
Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Albert Hall.
