London International Festival of Early Music

Erik Bosgraaf directs the Wroclaw Baroque Orchestra at last year's London International Festival of Early Music, in music by Vivaldi and a precociously young Mozart.

Antonio Vivaldi and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart may seem worlds apart - one a Venetian priest at the height of the Baroque, the other the emblem of Classical genius. Yet placed side by side, their works reveal striking continuities. Both were prodigies, both redefined instrumental writing, and both imbued their music with vitality that transcends their era.

In this concert, recorded at St Michael and All Angels Church in Blackheath as part of last autumn's London International Festival of Early Music, recorder virtuoso Erik Bosgraaf joins the Wroclaw Baroque Orchestra to bring Vivaldi's and Mozart's worlds into dialogue.
