'The OAE's Vivaldi performances are astonishingly vivid, led with infectious enthisiasm.' The Guardian

Despite Vivaldi's brilliantly inventive Four Seasons being so well-known, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's performances are guaranteed to be sparklingly fresh! And Vivaldi's operas also contain much gorgeous music as these two lovely arias reveal. Equally prolific, Telemann wrote many orchestral suites full of character and imaginative orchestration. With dances, fugues, musical portraits, and evocations of colourful scenes and characters, this highly attractive music deserves to be as popular as Bach's orchestral suites and Handel's Water Music. He wrote much vocal music too; this well-known secular cantata laments the death of a caged canary and is perhaps not entirely free from irony! Another unmissable evening with the OAE!

'Matthew Rose is utterly compelling.' Opera Now

'Warmth, polish, energy, a terrific rhythmic drive... exuberant chamber music playing of the highest quality.' Independent on Sunday
