About this concert

Lesser-known work, unusual instrumentations, forgotten masters: these are things that excite Radio Antiqua. In this concert the ensemble combines trio sonatas by Giovanni Benedetto Platti – an Italian all-rounder working in Würzburg – with chamber music by Christoph Schaffrath, a German harpsichordist who moved in royal circles. The same freshness and elegance can be heard in the music of Telemann, whose trio sonata demonstrates how many colours can be created from a palette of just violin, recorder and basso continuo.
