York Early Music Festival: EMS 9 July

[doversoul1]

Lucie Skeaping presents a live programme from the National Centre for Early Music, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the York Early Music Festival.

In addition to its own birthday the Festival is marking the anniversaries of Monteverdi and Telemann this year, as well as the Reformation with music by that great Lutheran JS Bach - today we'll hear some of his works for solo violin played live by Kati Debretzeni. The Ebor Singers who've enjoyed a long association with the festival also join us to sing live and discuss their latest project - exploring music from the English Civil War and Siege of York.

I've listened to quite a bit of this programme. A good way of marking the 40th Anniversary.

I see the Proms are hardly overdoing things for Monteverdi and Telemann. Perhaps there will be more effort for them in 50 years time?
