Winds of Fortune: Vivaldi & Telemann
Step into a rarer Baroque soundscape as PBO’s wind players take center stage. Oboe, recorder, bassoon, and harpsichord trace a lively conversation between the cosmopolitan composers of London and their continental counterparts. Pepusch opens a window onto London’s musical scene, blending elegance and energy as the winds play off one another. Vivaldi displays his prowess beyond the strings, delivering a work full of romping sequences and a witty sense of momentum. Telemann’s Trio Sonata features the winds sparring, blending, and trading colors with delightful originality. Together, these works reveal the warmth and richly varied voices of the Baroque wind ensemble.
