Baroque weekend: Maxim Emelyanychev and Il pomo d’oro

The captivating dialogue between two groups of instruments challenges the musicians to a playful and virtuoso competition that simultaneously allows for beautiful sound and surprising effects.

This form was significantly influenced by the Italian violinist and composer Arcangelo Corelli, whose Opus 6 became a model for composers such as Georg Muffat, Alessandro Scarlatti, and Giuseppe Sammartini. George Frideric Handel was also inspired by Corelli and unleashed a veritable firework of timbres and emotions in his Concerti grossi, Op. 6.
