Henleaze Concert Society: Treasures of the Baroque

Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major BWV 1051

Vivaldi Flute Concerto in C minor RV441

Biber Battalia

Handel Concerto Grosso Op.6 No.11

Bach Oboe and Violin Concerto

Roger Armstrong flute, Roger Huckle violin, Imogen Triner oboe

A captivating programme of sparkling instrumental music from the Baroque period. Bach's sixth Brandenburg Concerto is scored for violas and cellos so has a mellow sonority but is unfailingly upbeat and joyous in mood. Biber's famous Battalia is wonderfully engaging - dedicated to Bacchus, the god of wine, vegetation and theatre, it features many non-traditional musical techniques including striking the bow on the instruments, and snare-drum effects with paper woven through strings. Principals of the Bristol Ensemble perform concertos by Bach and Vivaldi.
