On Sat 15 Nov, Manchester Baroque unites some of the North’s finest period musicians for an evening of stunning virtuosity and unbridled musical vibrance with a performance of Bach’s breathtaking Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 at Hallé St Peter’s.
One of the composer’s most celebrated masterpieces, Bach’s totemic concerto stretches the concerto form to its limits, bringing solo trumpet, oboe, recorder and violin together in a dazzling dialogue with the orchestra to create a sound world bursting with harmonic creativity.
