LONDON CALLING
About
An adventurous recital focussing on members of the double-reed family. With two oboes and baroque bassoon positioned alongside two recorders and harpsichord, this highly rare concert offering is sure to captivate, delight and surprise.This program profiles a series of now highly underrated expatriate composers (Pepusch, Finger, Keller, Loeillet and Linicke) that made their way in the London theatre scene around 1720 and their stories. William Babell is the local Englishman, and his sublime F major concerto is positioned as a magnificent centrepiece.
Leading Australian period instrument specialists Mikaela Oberg, Adam Masters, Kailen Cresp, Nicholas Dinopoulos, Benjamin Hoadley and Linda Kent are your guides through this luscious and sadly now largely forgotten chamber repertoire.
