Rachel Podger returns with her definitive interpretations of Vivaldi, this time accompanied by works of his greatest admirer, J.S. Bach. This program embodies the variety of styles and forms encompassed by the word concerto, from the overt violin virtuosity of Tartini to the collaboration of flute, oboe, violin, and bassoon in the chamber concerto of Vivaldi. These forces then combine for the first of only four suites that Bach composed in Leipzig.
VERACINI Overture No. 6 in G minor
VIVALDI Violin Concerto in D major “L’inquietudine”
BACH Double Concerto for Oboe and Violin
TARTINI Concerto for Violin in A major
VIVALDI Chamber Concerto in G minor
BACH Orchestral Suite No. 1
Rachel Podger, leader and violin
