About the event

Highlights are the breathtaking virtuosity of Vivaldi's stylus phantasticus chamber concerto La Notte, a new arrangement of the German folk song Kraut und Rüben based on Dietrich Buxtehude's La Capricciosa and Bach's Goldberg variation Quodlibet, a choral version of a Dutch sailors' prayer Den man de quart staande and, last but very much not least, a cantata by Charles Burney himself called The despairing shepherd.
