Monteverdi, Vivaldi, and Bach
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, September 26, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Concerto Italiano was founded in 1984 by harpsichordist Rinaldo Alessandrini to perform early music. Over the years, they've become well respected for their interpretations of Monteverdi and Vivaldi. This week, we'll hear them perform music by both. We'll also sample selections by three English composers whose work represents the early to late Baroque. And as usual, there's plenty of Bach to enjoy.
