Ensemble Hesperi
Concertos on the Edge
with University of York Baroque Ensemble
Join us as we head to Leipzig for Bach’s stormy Harpsichord Concerto in D minor BWV1052*, likely performed by his own students at the famous coffeehouse concerts of the Collegium Musicum. Telemann’s virtuosic concerto for two recorders, written during a prolific period of composition in Frankfurt, shows an unparallelled understanding of the instrument. A lively string concerto by John Hebden brings us home to York, and Johann Stamitz’s early clarinet concerto channels the newly fashionable galant style from the very heart of Mannheim’s musical court.
