The Critic's Chair for Sunday 12 May 2013
Presented by Peter Walls
This week on The Critic’s Chair, Peter Walls reviews discs stirring up period-instrument controversy, beginning with the improvisatory ornamentation of Violin Sonatas by Corelli played by the Avison Ensemble. Vivaldi receives wild and unusual treatments by Il Pomo d’Oro in Violin Concerti and Ensemble Caprice in Sacred Music. And finally Bach gets historical make-overs by the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Canada, and Herreweghe and the Collegium Vocale Ghent from Belgium.
