Tempesta Di Mare, Philadelphia's Baroque Orchestra Presents Unmatched: Multicolored Chamber Music For Mixed Instruments at Woodmere Art Museum

About

The individual colors of flute, recorder, oboe, bassoon and violin shine at their most brilliant when set against each other in kaleidoscopic musical gems accompanied by harpsichord and theorbo. The program begins with a concerto by Vivaldi, followed by works of the Western and Eastern European composers who put their own spin on the possibilities of unmatched sounds: Janitsch, Fasch, Zelenka, Boismortier and Telemann. The instruments blend and contrast, call and respond, combine and recombine, stand out as soloists and form a cohesive whole.
