Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, September 13, 2020 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
One of the oldest and most venerable ensembles specializing in baroque music is I Musici, founded in Rome in 1951 by Spanish-born violinist Felix Ayo, who at 87 continues to play. This week we'll check out a few recordings from their vast body of work including performances of Albinoni (for which they are particularly renowned), Bach (featuring late Charlotte Symphony Music Director Leo Driehuys playing oboe), Geminiani, and Handel.
