Early Music Now (EMN 18-34)
Sounds of Distant Lands
The music on week's program was inspired by sounds far distant from composer's home. Italians Geminiani and Matteis were captivated by Scottish melodies, Telemann wrote a Polish Concerto, and Bach was fascinated by the sounds of Italy. We'll hear from the Palladian Ensemble, Juilliard Baroque, and Jordi Savall.
Francesco Geminiani: Scots Airs The Palladian Ensemble
Nicola Matteis Bizzarie all’imor Scozzeze The Palladian Ensemble
Georg Philipp Telemann Concerto Polonois in G major The English Concert
