Vivaldi x2

Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, August 12, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart

Why put the spotlight on just one solo instrument in a concerto when you could double your fun and showcase two? Unlike many of his Italian peers, Antonio Vivaldi did just that and wrote a number of concertos for two instruments, known as double concertos. Renowned British early music ensemble, La Serenissima, has just released an album of these doubly great creations called Vivaldi x2; We’ll listen to several tracks this week. And Rachel chats with cross-genre banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck who makes an appearance at the Brevard Summer Music Festival on August 18th with his Blue Ridge Banjo Concert. Find out what food he enjoys blackened.
