    Overview

    Bach and Telemann were not only near contemporaries but also close friends.

    Arcangelo’s carefully curated programme presents the best of both composers, revealing the freshness, colour and dash of Telemann’s musical celebration of Don Quixote and rich imagination behind his Orchestral Suite‘Les Nations’.

    Kristian Bezuidenhout joins Arcangelo in three of Bach’s virtuosicharpsichord concertos.
