The Chamber Music Cycle of Auditorio de Tenerife presents the concert ‘Impresiones barrocas’ (Baroque printings) by the Orquesta Barroca de Tenerife. 

‘Impresiones barrocas’

A chamber ensemble of the Baroque Orchestra of Tenerife offers this bonus of the late Baroque period, which was found in volumes of Amsterdam from the 18^th century.

Thanks to the high quality of the printings, their durability, and the readability of the scores published by Estienne Roger (c. 1664–1722) and Michel-Charles Le Cène (1684-1743), Amsterdam became the European printing city for music scores. The publishers added editions of great baroque composers to the catalogue of the Dutch company. The copies of those baroque printings by Vivaldi, Bernardi, Sammartini, Albinoni and Locatelli, with the seventeen movements that comprise the concert, will evoke the gift that any musician of that time might have received as a precious Christmas present.

With two concertos for oboe and orchestra, two sonata trios and the staggering Grosso Mogul, this repertoire resembles a luxurious chest of baroque music. Like the aromas of the Dutch Stamppot that fill the cold but joyful run-up to Nativity, this evening will be filled with warmth and good music.
