A rural scene
Why is it that baroque composers manage to capture the atmosphere of Christmas so well in their notes? Whether it's an instrumental sinfonia 'Per il Santissimo Natale' by the lesser-known Giuseppe Valentini or a 'Christmas hit' like Cantate pastorale per la nascita di Nostre Signore by Alessandro Scarlatti, the image of the shepherds tending their sheep and a heavenly getting message looms. It is undoubtedly the form of the pastoral that does it for him. Representing a rural scene in sound is a baroque specialty that carries you away. Especially when it is performed as compellingly as by Arcancelo and Katharine Dain.

Ensemble in residence of Wigmore Hall
'Under the direction of Jonathan Cohen, Arcangelo's playing is as always of the highest quality and sometimes heartbreakingly subservient to the drama', wrote the English Gramophone full of admiration. The English ensemble started in 2010 and quickly conquered the world. For example, it was the first baroque ensemble to be allowed to call itself ensemble in residence at the illustrious Wigmore Hall. All the conditions for a memorable Christmas are therefore present.

Een landelijke scène
Hoe komt het toch dat barokke componisten de sfeer van Kerstmis zo goed weten te vangen in hun noten. Of het nu gaat om een instrumentale sinfonia ‘Per il Santissimo Natale’ van de minder bekende Giuseppe Valentini of een ‘kersthit’ als Cantate pastorale per la nascita di Nostre Signore van Alessandro Scarlatti, het beeld van de herders die hun schapen hoeden en een hemelse boodschap krijgen doemt op. Het is ongetwijfeld de vorm van de pastorale die het hem doet. Het in klank uitbeelden van een landelijke scène is een barokke specialiteit die je meesleept. Zeker als het zo meeslepend wordt uitgevoerd als door Arcancelo en Katharine Dain.

Ensemble in residence van Wigmore Hall
‘Het spel van Arcangelo is onder leiding van Jonathan Cohen als altijd van de hoogste kwaliteit en op soms hartbrekende wijze dienstbaar aan het drama’, schreef het Engelse Gramophone al eens vol bewondering. Het Engelse ensemble begon in 2010 en veroverde de wereld met rasse schreden. Zo was het het eerste barokensemble dat zich ensemble in residence mocht noemen van de roemruchte Wigmore Hall. Alle voorwaarden voor een memorabele kerst zijn dus aanwezig.
