Classic hits from the 17th Century’s hottest composers. Music by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and their contemporaries are still familiar to us today through recordings, film soundtracks, adverts or remixes. This concert explores the stories behind the best-loved pieces of the era and why they remain popular today. The OAE, a trail-blazing ensemble, performs The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No 3, Vivaldi’s Spring from The Four Seasons and more. They play on ‘period instruments’ so you hear the music as the composers might have imagined it.
