Performance on 3 - Spitalfields Festival 2010 - English Concert

Presented by Petroc Trelawny The English Concert and their director Harry Bicket perform a selection of outstanding works from the Baroque repertory. In this concert from the Spitalfields Festival they are joined by one of the UK's leading young sopranos Elizabeth Watts, for two cantatas by Bach. The first is a secular Italian cantata about which little is known, while the other is one of his most enduring works for soprano and trumpet, brilliantly illustrating the call to 'praise God in every nation.' The trumpet also takes centre-stage in the sparkling concerto by Telemann, and in Bach's Suite no.2 it is the flute's turn to shine. The programme opens with the elegant Chacony by Purcell, which retains elements of the stately dance within its varations. Purcell: Chacony in G minor, Z.807 Telemann: Trumpet concerto in D Bach: Cantata BWV.209: Non se che sia dolore Suite no.2 in B minor, BWV.1067 Cantata BWV.51: Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen Elizabeth Watts (soprano) Lisa Beznosiuk (flute) Mark Bennett (trumpet) English Concert director Harry Bicket Followed by a look at past Spitalfields Festivals.
