Info

Jordi Savall is a legend of early music, and in this concert he joins forces with the young musicians of the Karajan-Akademie. Together, they unleash elemental musical forces – with Water Music: Ebb and Flow by Georg Philipp Telemann and Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks, a work that uniquely combines unrestrained splendour with elegance. The concert opens with the orchestral suite from the opera Alceste, in which Jean-Baptiste Lully explores the full expressive range of the Baroque – from martial fanfares to graceful dances.
