The Academy of Ancient Music’s mission is to recreate the music as Bach or Handel might have heard it. The Times recently described their playing as having “passion, excitement, and joy” charged with “verve and precision”. The first of their two concerts at Town Hall (see 15 April) features the irresistible energy of two of Bach’s best-loved works.
Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall says of tonight’s recommended concert:
“A Baroque-lover’s heaven is probably the best way to describe tonight’s concert! Handel and Bach are the kings of Baroque and it’s a shame the pair never met, though, apparently Johann Sebastian tried on three occasions to see George Frideric but the journeys came to nothing.”
