Wiltons Music Hall

To welcome in the New Year, colourful, mysterious, questing works from
the 17^th and early 18^th centuries. Telemann wrote two sets
of 'Fantasies', one for violin and
one for flute. Written a decade after his friend, J S Bach's Sonatas and Partitas, these represent a
watershed in the use of the solo violin. These works were comparatively
neglected until the 20^th century, and it was the early 1990's when
Peter Sheppard Skærved released the first complete recording of this
extraordinary cycle. With these extraordinary pieces, the last of the Biber's 15
'Mystery Sonatas', dedicated to the Archbishop of Salzburg, and works by the
Bolognese, Vitali, imitating
trumpets, organs, and earlier dance forms, one of which, although dating from
1666, is in five beats per bar! Together with these, equally powerful miniatures
by living composers, all referring to earlier musics.
