THE OLD VIRTUOSITY SHOP
A host of composers to intrigue the imagination: Merula, Smeltzer, Hotteterre, Handel, Telemann, Mancini, Vivaldi, Barrière, Corelli and Biber.Over the years and across the nations virtuosity has had many different incarnations and its nature has been bitterly disputed. This programme contains music written both by and for just a few of the great virtuosic players of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and demonstrates the different styles of virtuosity admired by their audiences.
