Artists
| Chamber Music: | Il Gardellino The Belgian baroque ensemble Il Gardellino can always be relied on to come up with a well constructed programme. An evening devoted to concert life in 18th‐century Berlin, for example, or an introduction to the instruments of love — or, as in this evening's concert, a selection of solo concertos from the Italian Baroque, by the great Vivaldi and by two of his somewhat overshadowed colleagues, Giuseppe Tartini and Baldassare Galuppi. |
