    Hasse, Heinichen, Zelenka, and Vivaldi: EML 23 October

    Elin Manahan Thomas introduces a concert recorded earlier this year in Belgium, given by the Czech consort L'Ensemble Inégal, directed by Adam Viktora, and featuring soprano soloist and co-founder of the ensemble, Gabriela Eibenova
    The music transports us to eighteenth-century Germany, with a focus on Dresden, as a pearl of baroque eastern Germany at its pinnacle. The programme features the foremost composers of the Dresden Court
    .

    Music includes
    Johann David Heinichen - Concerto in G, S238, for recorder, oboe and strings
    Johann Adolf Hasse - Salve Regina in G, for soprano, strings and basso continuo
    Antonio Vivaldi - Concerto in D minor, RV 242, for violin, strings and basso continuo ('For Pisandel')
    Jan Dismas Zelenka - Alma redemptoris mater in A, ZWV 123
    Antonio Vivaldi - In turbato mare irato, RV 627.
    Elin Manahan Thomas introduces Baroque music performed in Dresden by L'Ensemble Inegal.

    The performance may not be top notch or cutting edge but the music was high Baroque at its most enjoyable. Salve Regina by Hasse felt somewhat over-long but interesting all the same.

      'Inégal', perhaps? Good selection.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        The music is nice, but I had to turn off once the soprano began...I found her voice very thin and wavery.
