Trevor Pinnock goes Baroque

An evening of invigorating Baroque music from the harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock. The concert opens with a Prelude from Louis Couperin – one of the finest keyboard composers of the seventeenth century – and includes two elaborate works by one of the few known female Baroque composers, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. Bach's intricate Partita, with its distinctively angular opening melodic leaps, is followed by Handel's dramatic Chaconne and music by Rameau and English composer Matthew Locke.
