    Overview

    Period instrument performances have been raised to the highest levels of technical virtuosity and insight thanks to the work of ensembles such as the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and artists of the calibre of Jean-Guihen Queyras and Xenia Löffler.

    Their thrilling programme reflects Vivaldi’s passion for the cello, a comparative newcomer in the composer’s day, and the jaw-dropping virtuosity of his writing for solo oboe and strings.
