For twenty-five years, since making their debut in 2000 at Handel’s parish church, St. George’s Hanover Square, the London Handel Players have thrilled audiences across the world with their performances and recordings.
Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos are amongst the finest works by the composer whose immense and remarkable output defines the baroque era. A collection of ‘six concertos for several instruments’, they were dedicated to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721 and are widely regarded as a one of the high points of the Baroque era.
Each concerto features unique soloists and instrumental families. In this concert we hear two of these scintillating works performed alongside other great works from the era by Telemann, Vivaldi and Leclair.
