Program

Arcangelo, one of the most acclaimed Early Music ensembles in Europe, presents some of ‎the best orchestral and vocal works from the Baroque period under the direction of Jonathan ‎Cohen. On this occasion, two brilliant, emerging vocalists have been invited: soprano Emöke ‎Baráth and countertenor Maarten Engeltjes.‎Jonathan Cohen is one of the most brilliant British musicians on the scene today. With a ‎passion for chamber music, in 2010 he founded Arcangelo which, over its eight years of ‎existence, has become one of the most acclaimed Early Music ensembles in Europe. Their ‎concert at L’Auditori will focus on the Baroque period, from which it will present some of the ‎best orchestral and vocal works. Included in the orchestral pieces is the Concerto ‎Grosso No. 4 in F major, Op. 3 by George Frederick Handel, elegant and full of ‎contrasts, and the scintillating Concerto for 2 Violins in A minor by Antonio Vivaldi. The vocal ‎pieces will see two brilliant, emerging vocalists invited by Arcangelo: soprano Emöke Baráth, ‎who performs around the world alongside musicians such as Philippe Jaroussky and Jordi ‎Savall; and countertenor Maarten Engeltjes who, despite his youth, has already performed ‎under the baton of illustrious conductors such as Gustav Leonhardt, Vladimir Jurowski and ‎William Christie. The performance with them will include Silete venti, one of Handel’s most ‎lavish motets; the cantata Cessate, omai cessate, in which ‎Vivaldi talks to us of love lost; and the famous and intense Stabat Mater by ‎Giovanni Battista Pergolesi.‎
