Spotlight on the Netherlands--Muffat, Corelli, Lully
We continue our long and fruitful association with our partners at Radio Netherlands in presenting a series of concerts from the 2007 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht. We the web site provides more in-depth information about the music and performers we hear as well as more information about the festival (www.rnmusic.nl).
NOTE: Matthew Halls directs the Holland Baroque Society in this concert.
As the Festival notes:
The Holland Baroque Society is o°©ne of the four young baroque orchestras from the Low Countries to play in this Festival, together with Les Muffatti, New Dutch Academy and B’Rock. They have one thing in common: an urge to provide an adventurous counterpart to the accomplishments of the more established orchestras, represented in this Festival by the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and Ton Koopman’s Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. One of the Society’s distinguishing features is the absence of a single musical leader. Instead, a certain amount of flexibility is used in choosing the right leader for each of their wide-ranging projects. Today, harpsichord player Matthew Halls will be at the helm of the Society in a programme featuring energizing music by Muffat, Corelli and Lully.
