Summer Series I - Baroque Favourites | Soloists of Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra

In the beautiful surroundings of the new Olivier Hall and St Martin-in-the-Fields, soloists from the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra take you to the cradle of music civilization - the Italian baroque. The worls by Albioni and Pachabel have become justifiably famous, even if the Oboe Concerto by Marcello remains a well-kept secret. Bach admired this regal, yearning and introspective piece enough to transcribe it for organ, before flooding his own Brandenburg Concertos with a distinctly Italian style of bustling musical converstation. Handel's ceremonial Water Music completes this baroque cornucopia led by our own outstanding musicians.
