London Calling
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, May 23, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
This week we put the spotlight on period instrument chamber ensemble, London Baroque, which is devoted to performing Baroque chamber music. Their repertoire includes Baroque favorites as well as virtually unknown works.
London Baroque was formed in 1978 by Austrian-born violinist Ingrid Seifert and cellist Charles Medlam. Over the years, they have amassed a large discography. This week we'll sample tracks from four Harmonia Mundi albums the group made in the 1990's with music by Handel, Pachelbel, J.S. Bach, and his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann.
